Who doesn’t love Nutella!!! especially kids. Nutella is a smooth chocolate-hazelnut spread with a nutty flavour…. Am very much sure that everyone has a bottle of nutella at their home.. Recently I have been trying a lot of homemade stuffs that can be easily made with available ingredients like Homemade pancakes,Homemade Condensed Milk homemade Nutella also one of them ….
My kids love to have nutella with everything they eat they even eat with poori… Their were many news about nutella that it’s not safe but I donno whether its true or not…but gave it a try at home and at least can he satisfied that its healthy and fresh….
It’s just simple methods to make the nutella at home…
we need just
- Hazelnut
- melted milk chocolate
- Any flavorless oil (hazelnut oil if you have)
- cocoa powder
- icing sugar
- vanilla essence
we need to roast the hazelnut then remove the skin as it may give a bitter taste …one of the easiest method to remove is just rub the toasted hazelnut between the cloth it gets off easily… Then grind it to a smooth paste.Always make it to smooth paste and not grainy as you wont get the smooth texture of hazelnut as you get in shops..
It also calls for melted chocolate I have used semisweet milk chocolate . The milk chocolate gives a level of sweetness most similar to packaged Nutella and cocoa powder gives more chocolaty taste to it.. I have used canola oil in this recipe but you can also use hazelnut oil if you have….
Icing sugar used may vary from 1/3 to 1/2cup depending upon the sweetness and milk chocolate used . Addition of sugar gives a thicker consistency to nutella..
