The chocolately, creamy hazelnut spread is good on just about anything. Toast, baking, hot cocoa........ I came across this recipe (on Pinterest of course) that I am going to try this weekend. It looks so easy with only 4 ingredients and then I wouldn't have to always run to World Market. Besides, it's been a while since I've put my food processor to use. I was thinking that this would be a great gift to give away to company or for a little birthday present.
Enjoying my day off today, but looking forward to the weekend! Happy Wednesday everybody!!
Homemade Nutella
makes for 3 jars
200 g Hazelnuts
1 can Condensed Milk
255 g Chocolate - the darker the better
1/2 cup hot Milk
Roast the hazelnuts for about 10-15 minutes either in the oven or in a dry pan over the heat.
When the nuts are ready put them on a tray or a magazine and let them cool down a little.
Once they are not hot anymore, place them in the food processor and start processing them.
The hazelnuts will become Hazelnut butter and will look like this.
When you're done with this, start bringing water to a boil. Place a big bowl over the water and melt the chocolate.
When the chocolate has melted, pour the condensed milk in.
Mix them together.
Love the chocolate swirls :) Then get ready to add the mixture to the hazelnut butter and process it some more. Add the hot milk if you find it too dense, I did. But if you like it thick, then you can leave the milk out.
When it is creamy enough, Nutella has been created! Congrats! Brace yourself for some battle with yourself, it will be VERY hard not to eat a lot :)
