Simple Organic Vegan Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

By Stephen Howard


Finding organic and delicious sweets is not always easy thing to do. Most products contain different ingredients you just don't want to consume. And, when it comes to popular spreads, the things get worse. On the other hand, you could make your own delicious spread whenever you want, and this particular recipe is so simple you can try it today, with no special preparations.

This recipe contains just a few ingredients, and require maybe half an hour of your precious time. For preparing this amazingly tasty organic vegan nutella chocolate hazelnut spread you will need just some good quality organic hazelnuts, dairy free chocolate and maybe something to sweeten the things. And, of course, a good food processor.

Well, you could use some regular blender, but you will certainly get better results using good food processor or some smoothie maker. In any case, prepare four cups organic hazelnuts, two cups organic dark chocolate, dairy-free, naturally, and molasses, or some maple syrup. The spread will be creamier and tastier if you use molasses, by the way.

First, you have to roast the hazelnuts. Just put them on some large pan and roast for about fifteen minutes on 175 degrees Celsius. Shake the pan once or twice in between. After that, place warm nuts on large kitchen towels, cover with another towel and roll around and try to remove as much skin as you can. Use clean towels and repeat the process.

Place the hazelnuts into the food processor and blend until hazelnut butter is formed. Now you can add melted chocolate and a spoon or two of molasses or maple syrup. Of course, if you don't want your spread to be sweeter, you don't have to add any of these ingredients. If you do, just remember it will make the spread harder, but tastier.

Of course, you don't have to use melted chocolate if you prefer cocoa. Use the cocoa instead, but keep in mind the spread might be less creamy in this case. The easiest solution is to combine cocoa powder with very small quantity of hot water before adding it to your blender. In this case, you will probably need more molasses or maple syrup to sweeten your spread.

Adding molasses will enrich the taste, but it is also a good idea to add some vanilla extract as well. In any case. This mixture can be safely kept in the fridge for a few weeks or so. But, once you taste it, you will probably eat it much sooner. The bigger problem is not to eat it the very same day. Do not prepare while on any type of a diet.

Once you try this recipe, you might want to experiment with slightly different tastes. For example, you might want to spice it with a few drops of orange oil. Simply squeeze fresh orange zest in, and you'll get your own, deliciously orange spiced nutella. Or, you may boil cloves or cinnamon in water, and use this water for combining with cocoa powder, when preparing this delicacy. Or you could simply enjoy in the original recipe.
