Who does not love Nutella? I, myself who has a weakness when it comes to sweets, I can never say no to chocolate especially when it comes to Nutella.

Indulge in the rich, velvety goodness of homemade Nutella, crafted from roasted hazelnuts, premium cocoa powder, and a touch of sweetness, creating a delectable spread that will satisfy your chocolate craving with a luscious bite.

Where did Nutella come from

It originated in Italy. It was created by Pietro Ferrero, an Italian pastry maker and founder of the Ferrero company. The chocolate spread was initially introduced in 1964 under the name “Supercrema” and was later renamed Nutella in 1965.

Recipe

Here is a recipe to make your own tasty Nutella spread :

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Hazelnut
• 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 175°c.
• Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the skins start to crack.
• Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Rub the hazelnuts together in a clean Kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
• Grind the roasted and peeled hazelnuts in a food processor until they form a smooth paste. This process can take several minutes, so be patient.
• Add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and vegetable oil to the hazelnut paste. Process until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Taste the homemade Nutella and adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar.
• Transfer the homemade Nutella to a jar and store it in the refrigerator. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
• Enjoy your homemade Nutella spread with a toast, pancake and maybe use it in your favourite recipe.
