How to Make Vegan Nutella – Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Have you ever wondered how to make vegan Nutella at home? It’s actually quite easy and not as difficult as you might imagine. All you need is an oven and a food processor and you are good to go.

Why Not Just Buy Vegan Nutella?

Well of course you can, but this chocolate hazelnut spread is BETTER than Nutella. Yes you heard that right. In this recipe I use only toasted hazelnuts and pure dark chocolate with a little bit of sugar and salt to make the best chocolate hazelnut spread. The results are rich and delicious with an intense toasted hazelnut flavour that you cannot find in at the store.

Also my recipe does not use cheap palm oil which is a contributor to the destruction of the rainforest and a catalyst for climate change. And this recipe is completely plant-based dairy and gluten free.

What can you use it for?

  • Mix with chopped nuts and bananas to make a quick dessert
  • Spread it over cakes, cookies and brownies
  • Use it on toast
  • Pancakes!
  • Banana bread
  • These Vegan Brownies

How Long Does it Last?

This chocolate hazelnut spread keeps for about 1 week at room temperature (about 21ยฐC). If you store it in the fridge it will harden like cold butter and you will have to melt it again over a water bath.

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Metal bowl
  • Metal baking tray

Ingredients

  • 100 g hazelnuts peeled
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 75 g dark chocolate high quality, 70% or higher
  • ยผ tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Set the oven temperature to 190ยฐC/375ยฐF. Toast the hazelnuts until a deep dark brown colour is formed. Approx. 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the toasted hazelnuts off the hot tray to a plate to cool. Add the salt while they are still hot.

  • Heat up a small pan with high sides and fill โ…“ with water (make a double boiler). Chop the chocolate roughly and place in a metal bowl. Heat the bowl of chocolate over the hot water to gently melt. (Bain-marie)
  • Meanwhile blitz the hazelnuts with the sugar in the food processor until a hazelnut butter is formed. Add the melted chocolate and continue to blend.

  • Store in a sealed mason jar at room temperature for up to 3 days. The lack of dairy in this recipe prolongs the shelf life.

Notes

Be careful when working with chocolate to not add any water as it can “seize”. Always wipe the bowl clean of any water before adding the chocolate.ย 
Don’t store this in the fridge as it will thicken up too much.
ย Itโ€™s also important to use a food processor instead of a blender because traditional blenders have trouble breaking down things that arenโ€™t very wet like this nut butter. You can also damage your blender!
