Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup cacao powder
  • 2/3 cup raw hazelnuts cashews, although not traditional, work just as well and you don't have to peel or soak the nuts!
  • 2/3 cup monkfruit syrup or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted I prefer coconut but it is possible to make this recipe with avocado oil too- I have tried both!
  • 2 tbsp nut milk i used unsweetened cashew milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the nuts

  • If you are using hazelnuts, you will need to peel them. There are two ways of doing this:
  • 1. Toast the hazelnuts in a 400° oven for 8-10 minutes. Allow them to cool and then place them in a jar or other airtight container and shake the skins loose!
  • 2. Soak the hazelnuts overnight and in the morning, rub the loose skins off
  • Alternatively, if your Nutella lover is not a purist, use cashews! No peeling required.

In the food processor

  • Add all 7 ingredients and process until very smooth- this will take about 8 minutes. Stop the food processor now and then to scrape the sides down and pulse until smooth.
  • Store your Copycat Nutella in a jar and enjoy!

Notes

If your Nutella lover prefers more of a "milk" chocolate flavor, feel free to add a little more of your favorite unsweetened nut milk to the food processor. Taste and make it your own- you might find you like more or less sweetener too. That is the fun of cooking and of replacing well-loved condiments with healthier versions.
