Love Nutella but trying to cut down on sugar? Try making your own sugar-free Nutella at home with this easy and healthy recipe. Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without the guilt.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Once roasted, remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the nuts to a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove as much of the skins as possible. Don't worry if some skins remain.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the roasted hazelnuts and blend until they form a smooth, creamy nut butter consistency. This process may take several minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
Add the cocoa powder, allulose, coconut oil and vanilla extract to the hazelnut butter in the food processor. Continue to blend until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness and consistency to taste by adding more sweetener or coconut oil if desired.
Once the sugar-free Nutella reaches your desired consistency and taste, transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container for storage. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
