Homemade Nutella is a creamy chocolate spread made from scratch with step by step pictures.
I wanted to try nutella at home since a long time and finally found hazelnuts so thought to give it a try.Believe it or not it tastes 95% close to the store bought one.I guess in the store bought nutella there is more of chocolate content in it so tastes chocolately with a mild flavor of hazelnuts while its vice versa in homemade and its absolutely preservative free.I tested it by keeping in room temperature for about a week, it stayed fresh and even the consistency was almost same, it became slightly thick after a week but still can be used as a spread.
What are you waiting for? If you or your kids are nutella fans do try this and enjoy.

Homemade Nutella
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts

- 1 tablespoon oil odourless
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- To a sauce pan - add hazelnuts roast until crisp and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- Transfer to a mixer jar, grind it first it will become coarse slowly it will release oil and start to stick the sides of the mixer.
- Scrap the sides with a spoon and grind again when its sticky and not too coarse add powdered sugar and salt.
- Add coco powder along with oil and vanilla essence.
- Grind again so that its well combined.
- Keep grinding giving intervals in middle to avoid mixer from getting hot. Once it reaches a gooey consistency (it will not be very cream at this stage) stop grinding. Now take the bowl containing melted chocolate.
- Add this mixture to melted chocolate and mix well. Look at the consistency flowing and spreadable.
- Store in a clean dry glass jar in room temperature. Homemade Nutella keeps well for at least 10 days in room temperature itself.
Notes
- You can skip cooking chocolate too but to get that exact store bought nutella taste do add it.
- You can use dark chocolate too in that case increase sugar quantity. I used milk chocolate.
