Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

Because of all of those great recipes that I see online, I decided to make this Sugar Free Copycat Nutella like recipe.
That popular chocolate hazelnut spread is everywhere it would seem.

Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

People seem to like their hazelnut spread.
Most homemade hazelnut spreads come with a lot of sugar unfortunately. With that sugar comes the calories and everything else that people, like myself, seem to dread. You may know exactly what I mean.

This spread has certainly made the hazelnut famous however.
Before the hazelnut spread craze, you may not have ever eaten a hazelnut before. I know that I never had one unless it was part of a bowl of mixed nuts that was set out at a party or similar gathering. Hazelnuts actually have a bit of protein and fiber. More than many other nuts as well.

There are a few ingredients that we need for this recipe.

Hazelnuts can be hard to find locallu. However, you can easily find hazelnuts online.
To roast hazelnuts, simply place them into a toaster oven. or regular oven, and roast at 350 for 15-18 minutes. You can use a regular baking sheet to roast them on.

You will also need some chocolate chips for this Sugar Free Copycat Nutella recipe.
Since we are sticking to our sugar free idea here, you will need sugar free chocolate chips. Luckily, you can also find sugar free chocolate chips online as well.

The Recipe for Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

This is actually a lot easier than you may think it is.
What you will need to make this.

• Roasted Hazelnuts Skinned–1 Cup,see post for more details
• Canola Oil–1 Teaspoon
• Your choice of Sugar Alternative -1 Tablespoon equivalent to sugar
• Sugar Free Chocolate Chips–1/2 Cup or No sugar added Cocoa Powder 1/4 cup

How to make this recipe.

• If hazelnuts are not roasted and skinned, do so by roasting them in a 350 oven for 15-18 minutes. Allow them to cool and then remove the skins
• Place your chocolate chips in a microwave safe cup and melt them in the microwave. I set my microwave on medium high and melt in 20 second increments stirring between increments.  You can melt them over a double boiler if preferred. Don’t forget to stir.
• In a food processor, process your hazelnuts and oil together for about a minute or until they become somewhat pasty.
• Add your yogurt, sugar alternative and the cocoa (if using cocoa) to the food processor and continue to blend. You will need to stop the processor a few times to scrape the sides to ensure that everything is blending together.
• If using chocolate chips, add your melted chocolate chips (if using chocolate chips) and pulse your food processor a few times until blended. However, if you are using the cocoa method you can skip this step.
