Homemade Nutella Recipe – Creamy Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Easy + Better Than Store-Bought)

This Homemade Nutella Recipe delivers the perfect creamy, chocolate-hazelnut spread your whole family will crave. Roasted hazelnuts, rich cocoa, and a touch of vanilla blend together into a silky spread that tastes even better than store-bought Nutella. Easy to make, customizable, and totally irresistible!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw hazelnuts
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1–2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–4 tablespoons neutral oil (sunflower or vegetable)
  • Optional: 50–80g melted dark chocolate for extra creaminess

Instructions

  1. Roast Hazelnuts: Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Remove Skins: Wrap hazelnuts in a clean towel and rub to remove loose skins.
  3. Blend: Add warm nuts to blender/processor. Blend until smooth hazelnut butter forms (5–8 minutes).
  4. Add Flavor: Add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Blend again.
  5. Adjust Texture: Add oil 1 tablespoon at a time until silky and spreadable.
  6. Optional: Blend in melted dark chocolate for a richer, creamier Nutella.
  7. Store: Transfer to a sealed jar. Keep at room temp up to 3 weeks.

Notes

  • Vegan-Friendly: Use dairy-free chocolate if needed.
  • Less Sugar: Start with 1/2 cup and adjust to taste.
  • Too Thick? Add a splash more oil.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of espresso powder or sea salt.
  • Separates? Stir well—it’s natural!
