THE REAL NUTELLA

Ingredients

• 210 ml Whole hazelnuts
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp Sea salt
• 35 g Dark chocolate chips
• 6 ml Oat milk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C)
2. Add hazelnuts to a baking sheet and roast for a total of 12-15 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Then transfer to some kitchen roll and use your hands to roll the nuts around and remove as much of the skins as you can.
4. Leaving the skins behind, add hazelnuts to a high speed blender. Blend on low until a butter is formed, this generally takes about about 8-10 minutes.
5. In the meantime, heat the chocolate over a double boiler. Once melted, set aside.
6. Once the hazelnut butter is creamy and smooth, add the vanilla, oat milk and salt and blend well. Then add the melted chocolate a little at a time and blend again until well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or vanilla if desired. Or if you like it runnier then add more oat milk.
7. Enjoy with fruit, on toast or a rice cracker or just off a spoon for a quick sweet fix. Try not to eat it all at once and save some for the kids ;-)
