    This recipe calls for Hazelnuts that have been roasted. You can find roasted hazelnuts here.

     

    People sometimes ask what is Nutella made of.

     
    Nutella is the brand name for a chocolate hazelnut spread product.
    That popular spread also contains sugar as well as other ingredients.
     
    A downside to eating a chocolate and hazelnut spread is that it can be high in calories as well as carbohydrates.
     
    This recipe does not have added sugar or other unnecessary ingredients.
    As a result, this recipe is lower in sugar and carbohydrates.

     

    You may be wondering what are the benefits of Nutella.

     
    Well, certainly, it tastes good and as a result, can make other things taste good too.
    You can add chocolate hazelnut spread to other recipes or simply spread it on a piece of fruit or bread to enjoy as is.
     
    Hazelnuts also provide us with some nutritional value.
     
    Hazelnuts are good source of fiber and protein.
    Also, these nuts are a decent source for magnesium, iron, Vitamin B6, and potassium!

    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.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    About this recipe for Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

     
    This is a simple recipe for making a hazelnut and chocolate spread.
    However, this spread is made without adding any sugar to it.
     
    To make this spread you will need roasted hazelnuts that have had their skins removed.

    You can use a food processor or a strong blender (I use a Vitamix) to make this recipe. This will thus ensure that your ingredients get processed evenly and smoothly.

     

    Ingredients needed to make sugar free chocolate hazelnut spread.

     

    • Hazelnuts- 1 cup toasted or roasted. Also, without their skins.
    • Sugar Free Chocolate Chips- 1 cup. You can find sugar free chocolate chips online. For a richer flavor, you can use a dark chocolate sugar free chocolate chip
    • Sugar Free Powdered Sugar- 2 tablespoons.
      You can make your own sugar free powdered sugar using this recipe or you can buy sugar free powdered sugar already made online.
    • Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
    • Canola Oil- 1 tablespoon or as needed.

    How to make Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

     

    • Toast your hazelnuts if they have not already been toasted or roasted. To do so you can roast them at 350 for 15-18 minutes on a baking sheet. Then remove any skins that are left.
    • Place the hazelnuts in your food processor or blender and process until smooth. This will take a few minutes to puree until the hazelnuts become like a smooth paste. As mentioned, you can use a food processor or a strong blender (I use a Vitamix).
    • Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the processor or blender.
    • Add the remaining ingredients except for the oil. Puree until combined to the desired texture. The oil however, can be added as needed to adjust the texture of your spread.

      You didn't give measurement for the cocoa in this recipe.

        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

        April 7, 2018 at 10:37 am

        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!
