A delicious sugar-free Nutella spread made from roasted hazelnuts blended with powdered Monk Fruit sweetener, cocoa powder, and optional sugar-free chocolate chips. This homemade version offers a healthier alternative to traditional Nutella without compromising on flavor or creaminess.

Ingredients

Scale

Nutella Spread

  • 2 cups raw, unsalted hazelnuts
  • 2/3 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • 1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, helps thicken the spread)
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Hazelnuts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the hazelnuts evenly in a single layer on the sheet.
  2. Roast Hazelnuts: Roast the hazelnuts for 8-10 minutes until they turn golden brown and emit a fragrant aroma. This enhances their flavor and makes it easier to remove their skins.
  3. Remove Hazelnut Skins: Transfer the warm hazelnuts to a large container with a lid and shake vigorously to loosen and remove the skins. Repeat as necessary or alternatively rub the nuts inside a folded towel to peel off the skins, setting aside those already skinned.
  4. Make Hazelnut Butter: Place the peeled hazelnuts into a high-power blender or food processor. Blend for 1-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Continue until the nuts release their natural oils and form a smooth, creamy nut butter.
  5. Melt Chocolate Chips: In a small bowl, gently melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
  6. Combine Ingredients and Blend: Add the powdered Monk Fruit sweetener, Dutch processed cocoa powder, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, coconut oil (if using), and sea salt to the hazelnut butter. Blend for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth, glossy, and well-incorporated.
  7. Chill and Thicken: Transfer the Nutella to a container and let it cool. Refrigerate to thicken the spread further for a creamier, more spreadable texture. Stir before serving.

Notes

  • Using raw hazelnuts is recommended for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Removing the skins improves the smoothness of the spread and reduces bitterness.
  • Coconut oil is optional but helps achieve a thicker consistency.
  • If you prefer a completely smooth texture, continue blending until ultra creamy.
  • Store the Nutella in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of Monk Fruit sweetener to taste.
