Homemade Nutella

 

 

I woke up too dang early 5:30, so since I can't fall back asleep

back in the kitchen.

 

This wasn't as hard as I thought, but now that I know what is going into my own Nutella and tastes

really really yummy I will make my own.

 

This is adapted from Bon Appetit Better than Nutella

I did cut this in half and made 2 cups this will last a while for me.

Ingredients

• 2 cup2 (heaping) hazelnuts, preferably skinned (about 10 ounces)
• 1/4cup sugar
• 1 pound semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1/2cup(1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spread out nuts on a rimmed baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet. Roast, shaking sheet once for even toasting, until deep brown, 13-15 minutes. Let cool completely. (If nuts have skins, rub them in a kitchen towel to remove.)
• Grind hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor until a fairly smooth, buttery paste forms, about 1 minute.
• Place chocolate in a medium metal bowl. Set bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water; stir often until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove bowl from over saucepan; add butter and whisk until completely incorporated. Whisk in cream and salt, then hazelnut paste.
• Pour gianduja into jars, dividing equally. Let cool. (Gianduja will thicken and become soft and peanut butter-like as it cools.) Screw on lids. DO AHEAD Gianduja can be made up to 4 weeks ahead; keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature for 4 hours to soften. Can stand at room temperature up to 4 days.
