Ingredients
Nutella Spread
- 2 cups roasted hazelnuts, peeled
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered monk fruit or your preferred keto sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Keto-friendly milk (such as almond milk or coconut milk), optional, as needed for consistency
Instructions
- Process Hazelnuts: Place the roasted, peeled hazelnuts in a food processor or high-powered blender and process for a few minutes until they begin to break down.
- Add Avocado Oil: Add avocado oil to the hazelnuts and continue processing, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture reaches a smooth, nut butter consistency. This may take several minutes.
- Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, powdered monk fruit sweetener, salt, and vanilla extract to the nut butter. Blend for a few more seconds until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: If a thinner texture is desired, add keto-friendly milk (such as almond or coconut milk) gradually, blending until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Store: Transfer the finished sugar free Nutella to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator and stir before use if separation occurs.
Notes
- Make sure hazelnuts are roasted and peeled for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste by adding more or less sweetener.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor for quicker and smoother results.
- If the mixture is too thick, add keto-friendly milk slowly to avoid making it too runny.
- This spread keeps well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
