Here are some tips for making this sugar free hazelnut spread.
Feel free to roast your own hazelnuts. To do so you can roast them at 350 for 15-18 minutes on a baking sheet. Then remove any skins that are left.
Here are some more tips for you.
- This recipe can be made in a food processor or good blender. You will need to scrape down the sides as needed while processing the ingredients.
- Make this even more flavorful by subbing in another nut. You can try using ⅔ of a cup of hazelnuts with ⅓ of a cup of another nut such as almonds.
- I have not added salt to the list of ingredients. If you miss the salt then feel free to add up to a teaspoon of salt while processing. I would not use salted hazelnuts however, as it is hard to control the amount of salt added.
How to store copycat Nutella hazelnut spread.
Normally, you could open up a jar of the original product and store it in the pantry and not refrigerated as it will become too hard to spread (peanut butter syndrome as I call it). Since this homemade version has no preservatives added to it, I would suggest storing it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and allowing it to sit at room temperature to soften up before using it.

You didn't give measurement for the cocoa in this recipe.
SFD
Hi. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The cocoa is actually and alternative as some folks like more of a cocoa taste rather than a chocolate taste. I have updated the recipe. Thanks again!

Yogurt is not something I’d ever use as the smell and taste nauseates me. Any good alternative?
SFD
Hi. I usually substitute the yogurt in for heavy cream or butter cream. Try one of those if you are not afraid of the added fat. thanks!
