Hazelnut Cream | Homemade Nutella without Sugar and Chocolate | Simple and Healthy Recipe

Hazelnut is a dry fruit, delicious, nutritious, and healthy. The end of summer is hazelnuts season and, whether harvested or purchased, it's always good to have ideas for using them to delight everyone. That is why today we are going to share our recipe for hazelnut cream, which many people call "homemade nutella". There are many hazelnut cream recipes but, as always, we like to create and do things our way, so we will show you how we make our quick and healthy "nutella" with no sugar and no chocolate. At the end of the post also watch our video with the step by step of this recipe.

Let's get to the point!

Ingredients

• 400g raw hazelnuts with skin. If you bought hazelnuts in the shell you might like to watch our post/video "How to Peel Hazelnuts Easily"
• 5g raw cocoa powder
• 180ml hazelnut milk
• 15ml coconut oil (must be liquid)
• 45ml raw honey

These quantities yield about 500g of hazelnut cream.

Method

1. Put the hazelnuts in a food processor and grind until creamy. 
2. To the cream add the cocoa, hazelnut milk, coconut oil, and honey.
3. Mix everything together.
4. Pour into a jar.
5. It doesn't need to be kept in cold storage unless it will take a long time to be consumed...which is not very likely :) 

Our Special Tips

• The honey used should be multi-flower and should taste just like honey! If you use honey with a strong aftertaste, the cream may taste unpalatable.

• When grinding, you need a lot of patience! Only grind for a few seconds at a time and open the lid to clean the walls with a spatula and push the ground hazelnuts to the bottom. The total grinding time will depend on the machine power.

• This recipe gives a thick cream, ideal for spreading. If you want the cream more liquid, we advise adding 1 TBSP of hazelnut milk at a time until you get the desired texture.

• The amount of honey is sufficient for a lightly sweet cream, in order to avoid abusing. However, if you want a sweeter cream, we advise adding 1 tsp of honey at a time until you get the desired sweetness.

We hope you enjoy our recipe and our tips. Now take a look at the video where we show you all the details.

Happy eating!
