Chocolate Hazelnut Butter

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and add hazelnuts to a baking sheet in a single layer. If raw, roast for a total of 12-15 minutes. If already roasted, roast for 8-10 minutes just to warm the natural oils and loosen the skins. This will make it easier to blend into butter.
-
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Then transfer to a large kitchen towel and use your hands to roll the nuts around and remove most of the skins. You want to get as much as possible off because it yields a creamier spread. But it doesn’t have to be perfect!
-
Leaving excess skin behind, add hazelnuts to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on low until a butter is formed - about 8-10 minutes total - scraping down sides as needed.
-
In the meantime, heat the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments. Set aside.
-
Once the hazelnut butter is creamy and smooth, add the vanilla and salt and blend well. Then add melted chocolate a little at a time and blend again until well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or vanilla if desired.
-
If your Nutella isn’t sweet enough, add stevia to taste, or 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave.
-
Transfer to a clean jar and store at room temperature for everyday use for 2-3 weeks or more.
