Ingredients

2 cups raw hazelnuts or roasted store-bought hazelnuts
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut sugar or any other powdered sweetener of your choice
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

If using raw hazelnuts, preheat the oven to 400 F. Add the hazelnut over a sheet pan and bake for 6-8 minutes until they start to brown.
Once cooled, using your hands or cloth, rub the toasted hazelnuts together until most of the skin comes off. You do not need to peel completely.
Using a high-powered blender like a Vitamix or food processor, blend the nuts until they are smooth.
Next, add all other ingredients and blend for 1-3 minutes until you get a creamy smooth Nutella-like texture!
Add in a lidded jar and store for up to 2 weeks on your shelf or 2 months in the fridge

This recipe makes 2 cups, which is 16 2-Tablespoons servings.

- Room Temperature: Store the homemade Nutella in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Ensure the storage area is cool and away from direct sunlight.

- Refrigerate: If you prefer a longer shelf life, refrigerate the Nutella. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 months. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for a smoother consistency.
