Can you say YUM? With Valentines Day right around the corner, my thoughts turn to chocolate! Yes, of course I enjoy a chocolate moment from time to time! I'm even more excited if the chocolate isn't full of refined sugar and nasty oils. I follow a great blog, Elana's Pantry, and she posted this one today! I have to share it...homemade nutella. I'm going to make it this weekend, let me know how it goes for you!
Homemade Nutella
1 cup hazelnuts
¼ cup cocoa powder
5 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon hazelnut oil
pinch celtic sea salt
1.Roast the hazelnuts at 350° for 8-10 minutes until they darken a bit and smell fragrant
2.Transfer the hazelnuts to a towel and rub off the skins if you can (I didn't have a lot of luck with this)
3.In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts to a smooth butter, about 5 minutes, scraping the sides as needed
4.Add the cocoa, agave, vanilla, oil and salt and process until well blended, about a minute
5.Store in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator
6.Bring to room temperature prior to serving
