What doesn't taste better when you do it yourself? I use to marginally like the original until I looked at the ingredients. It's mostly palm oil and sugar. The palm oil is a problem, but I'm also more interested in a fuller chocolate and hazelnut flavor. There are a whole bunch of recipes that use less more processed ingredients, such as milk powder, or cocoa powder, but there is no need. Using the brute ingredients works just as well.
Homemade Nutella
1 ½ C
- 200g Hazelnuts
7oz
- 200g Dark
chocolate 55% or Milk Chocolate if you prefer
1 Tbsp - 1 càs Oil
½ C - 12cl Milk
½ cup - 50
g Powdered Sugar
1tsp - 1 càc Vanilla
1/8 tsp - Salt
3 pincées
Toast the hazelnuts in the
oven at 350° F-180° C for 10-15 minutes.
Remove as much of the
skins as possible with a clean dish towel.
Grind the hazelnuts in a
food processor with the salt until smooth. Add 1 Tbsp oil towards
the end of processing.
Melt the chocolate in the
microwave.
Add the melted chocolate,
milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar, and blend until smooth.
For vegans, it seems to me
that you can use almond or soy milk in place of cow milk, without too
much of a difference.
