Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw hazelnuts
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar or any granulated sweetener of choice
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Oven
  • Frying Pan
  • Blender
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C/350F. Line a pan with the hazelnuts in a single layer. Toast them in the oven for about 7 to 8 minutes until they are golden and fragrant.
  2. Once toasted, allow the hazelnuts to cool completely.
  3. Transfer the cooled hazelnuts to a large dish towel. Gather the corners of the towel and wrap it around the nuts. With one hand, press and shake the hazelnuts together roughly to remove the skins.
  4. Open up the dish towel and discard any remaining skins. Now, place the skinned hazelnuts into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  5. Blend the hazelnuts for about 2 to 3 minutes. At first, they will break down into a flour-like consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula to ensure an even blend.
  6. Keep blending until the hazelnuts become smooth and creamy.
  7. Add in your cocoa powder and coconut sugar. Blend again until all the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
  8. Once everything is well-mixed, transfer your chocolate hazelnut spread into a jar or container.
  9. Now comes the best part: enjoy your Healthy Nutella!
