Dear Nutella,
As you know, you and I have had a love hate relationship for as long as I can remember.
But I found something to replace you, something better and gluten free. Sorry, I think I found your replacement. He's sugar free, and guilt free. So, I'm letting you go. Please don't blame me, I found this amazing recipe here: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com
(Makes about 2 cups)
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts (240g)
- 1 1/2 T pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup plus 2 T agave or sugar (A sugar-free option is noted in the directions)
- 1 packet stevia, or 1 T more agave or sugar
- 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
- optional: 2-3 tsp oil (for extra smoothness)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (I used Almond Breeze)
Roast hazelnuts for 10-14 minutes at 420 F. Rub them together in a paper towel to get the skins off. (It’s ok if a few stubborn skins won’t come off.) In a food processor, blend the nuts until they’ve turned to butter, then add all other ingredients and blend a long time until it’s smooth like Nutella! (I think I blended off-and-on for a full two minutes in my Cuisinart.)
