Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (180g) raw hazelnuts, toasted
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar (can substitute coconut sugar)
  • 23 tablespoons (3045 ml) neutral vegetable oil (grapeseed or sunflower oil recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons milk powder for creamier texture
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 10-12 minutes until skins start to crack and nuts smell toasty.
  2. Place warm hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove as much skin as possible. Some bits can remain.
  3. Transfer peeled hazelnuts to a food processor. Pulse until crumbly, then blend continuously for 5-7 minutes until oils release and mixture becomes creamy. Scrape sides as needed.
  4. Add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and optional milk powder. Pulse a few times to combine.
  5. With processor running, drizzle in vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Blend until silky and spreadable. Add more oil teaspoon by teaspoon if too thick.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar or honey if desired. Blend briefly to combine.
  7. Spoon spread into a clean jar. Ready to use immediately, but best after a few hours in the fridge.

Notes

Roasting hazelnuts is essential for deep flavor; do not over-roast to avoid bitterness. Blend patiently and scrape sides often for smooth texture. Use neutral oil to avoid overpowering flavor. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 2 weeks. Let come to room temperature before use for easy spreading.
