Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 High speed blender or food processor
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 8 oz raw hazelnuts see blog for my favorite brand
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 large medjool dates
- 1/2 tsp sea salt see blog for my favorite brand
- 4 - 5 tbsp lukewarm water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉
- Add the dates to a bowl of warm water.
- Spread the raw hazelnuts over a large baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes or until slightly darkened and aromatic.
- Add the warm hazelnuts to a high speed blender and blend until a smooth butter forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This process might take 5 - 10 minutes.
- Add the cocoa powder, dates, and sea salt and blend to incorporate.
- While the blender is running, add water one tablespoon at a time until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. I added 5 tbsp to mine.
- Store the homemade nutella in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
