Ingredients
- 200 grams Hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (neutral, such as sunflower oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking tray and roast them in the oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
Step 2
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Rub them in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much of the skin as possible (it's okay if some skin remains).
Step 3
Place the roasted hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until they turn into a smooth hazelnut butter. This may take 5-8 minutes, and you'll need to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl occasionally.
Step 4
Once the hazelnut butter is smooth, add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor.
Step 5
Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness or consistency if needed by adding more powdered sugar or a small additional splash of oil.
Step 6
Transfer the homemade chocolate spread to a clean, airtight jar and store it at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Step 7
Enjoy your chocolate spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, or use it as a dip for fruit!
