Homemade Nutella - Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Spread
Watch the video for this recipe:
My whole family loves Nutella and I also like to use it a lot in my dessert recipes. Therefore making my own Nutella, my own Chocolate Hazelnut Spread was necessarily a must.
I have already posted a version of Homemade Nutella, few years ago, which is really good, but this time I come with a new version, made with hazelnut praline. This time not only the hazelnuts are toasted, but the sugar is turned into caramel as well, which brings an amazing enriched flavor. The nuts and caramel are then turned into a thick paste before going further with the recipe. The steps are really easy and goes quite quick, the recipe requires only a few ingredients and a food processor which is a must.
As I use a great amount of hazelnuts, my version is definitely more nutty than the store-bought one. It is also less sweet, and is made without any palm oil. So I highly recommend you try this decadent chocolate hazelnut spread which I am sure you will love as much as we did. Enjoy!
