    1. Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. 
    2. You want to spread out all your hazelnuts onto a pan and roast as directed on a baking sheet. 
    3. Toss roasted hazelnuts into a food processor and pulse until you have a thick nut butter. 
    4. Once the nut butter is ready, pour in the coconut oil and melted chocolate. Then add in the vegetable milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and sea salt. Process a bit longer until well mixed. 
    5. Transfer to an airtight container and store.

    Tips and Tricks

    Thickness

    When making homemade chocolate hazelnut spread, you will find that storing the Nutella in the refrigerator will leave it thicker. If you store it at room temperature, it will be a bit thinner in texture. 

    Remove Skins From Hazelnuts

    One easy way to remove the roasted hazelnuts' skins is to place them on a dishtowel. Then fold the towel over and rub vigorously to remove the shells. This will give your chocolate nut spread a creamier texture.  

    Variations

    Swapping Nuts

    Consider swapping out the hazelnuts for another nut like cashews or almonds. Granted, it will no longer be a hazelnut spread. But you can essentially roast, blend, and mix any kind of nut just like hazelnuts to make a chocolate nut spread. 

    High Powered Blender 

    It would be best to use either a high-speed blender or food processor to get the right consistency for your nut spread. Otherwise, you will find your nuts don't break down enough to make it as creamy as you would hope. 

    Frosting 

    When making a homemade frosting, consider adding some of the spread to give it a Nutella flavoring! This chocolate nut spread is so easy to incorporate into baking and other sweet desserts. 

    Vegan Nutella FAQs

    Can I Use Artificial Sweeteners In Vegan Nutella? 

    You will find that using artificial sweeteners will stiffen up the spread. That is why I recommend using maple syrup or date puree to add enough sweetness to the spread. 

    How Can I Use Nutella Spread? 

    This chocolate Nutella spread can be used to spread on waffles, toast, stir in batters for cookies, cakes, and more. Or you can eat a little off a spoon. The possibilities are endless on how to enjoy this spread. 

    Can You Double This Nutella Spread Recipe? 

    This recipe can double and triple very easily. Just make sure you have enough room in your food processor or high-speed blender. Then store remaining Vegan Nutella in a sterilized jar.

      I have been searching for a Nutella recipe that is safe for my granddaughters!! Can't wait to give the recipe a go... just wondering... you mention the recipe makes 6 servings, then how much (maybe 3 tablespoons per serving, or 4 tablespoons??) does the whole recipe make? This would be helpful to learn for a Type 1 Diabetic and she also has anaphylactic allergies to dairy and eggs and some nuts. Thank you for sharing!!
