What could be easier than three ingredients.
Even better, three ingredients that do not include sugar or other ingredients that you may not want to eat.
 

Have you tried my 3 Ingredient Sugar Free Fudge Pops?

Certainly, both this recipe for hazelnut spread and that frozen chocolate pops are easy and delicious to eat recipes.
However, this recipe is really more of a spread, dip, or ingredients and not a frozen treat.

I am always looking for a great way to store the food that I make.

Luckily, I found some Genius Ideas for Food Storage to help me!

 

I always ask what makes Nutella so good?

I mean, people seem to go nuts (pun intended?) over putting it on food or in recipes.
Sometimes I have to think that it is a cult in itself because of its popularity.

The truth is that I never tried it because of the sugar that is in it.

I wanted to try eating it and baking with it.
As a result, I figured out how to make a sugar free hazelnut spread for myself.

 

Here are some of the ingredients that you will need to make this hazelnut spread .

Obviously, since this is a hazelnut spread, you will need hazelnuts. You thankfully can 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 recipe.
You can find sugar free chocolate chips online. For a richer flavor, you can use a dark chocolate sugar free chocolate chip.

 

Here are some tips for making this sugar free hazelnut spread.

I just mentioned that you can find hazelnuts online. I also mentioned that the hazelnuts should be roasted at 350 for 15-18 minutes.

Here are some more tips for you.

  1. Since first posting this recipe, there have been new developments, well products, in the world of sugar free chocolate chips. At one time there was only milk chocolate sugar free chips. However, today there are other varieties of sugar free chocolate chips to choose from. I like the idea of mixing up the chocolate chips (half of one kind with half of the other) in order to get both a rich tasting and smooth hazelnut spread.
  2. Another option is to use ⅔ of a cup of hazelnuts with ⅓ of a cup of another nut such as almonds. You can really make this a flavorful treat by doing so!
  3. The standard way of making a spread such as this one is to use a food processor or a strong blender (I use a Vitamix). This will ensure that your ingredients get processed evenly and smoothly.

 

Here is how to store your copycat sugar free Nutella or 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.

The recipe for Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

Earlier I mentioned that you can find hazelnuts online. I also mentioned that the hazelnuts should be roasted at 350 for 15-18 minutes if they are not already roasted.

Also mentioned, you can find sugar free chocolate chips online. For a richer flavor, you can use a dark chocolate sugar free chocolate chip.

The standard way of making a spread such as this one is to use a food processor or a strong blender (I use a Vitamix). This will thus ensure that your ingredients get processed evenly and smoothly.

 

What you will need to make this recipe for sugar free hazelnut spread.

 

  • Hazelnuts- 1 cup toasted or roasted. Also, without their skins.
  • Sugar Free Chocolate Chips- 1 cup. Again, 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.

How to make Sugar Free Copycat Nutella

  • 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?

      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!
