Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • Spread the hazelnuts in an even layer over the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until the hazelnuts become fragrant and the skins begin to split.
  • Remove and place the roasted hazelnuts into a clean tea towel and rub to remove the skins.
  • Discard the skins and place the hazelnuts into a high speed food processor.
  • Blend until it forms a smooth paste. This may take up to 5 minutes, stopping throughout to scrape down the edges with a rubber spatula.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Continue to blend for 5 minutes or until smooth and no lumps are remaining.
  • Remove and store in a jar in a cool dry place.

Notes

  • Remove all hazelnut skins as the skins can be quite bitter if left on.
  • The time to blend the hazelnuts to a smooth paste may vary depending on the speed and strength of the food processor being used.
  • Always use a food processor and not a blender as a blender won’t work well.
  • Serve the white chocolate nutella with fresh fruit as a dip, on a croissant, toast or even on top of pancakes.
  • Nutella will be thin and runny when first made however will thicken up over time to form a spreading consistency.
  • Do not store in the fridge as this will make it set firm and won’t spread easily.
  • If your food processor has difficulty processing the hazelnuts to a smooth paste, divide the mixture and work on half of the hazelnuts at a time. 
  • Again if your food processor has difficulty processing the hazelnuts to a smooth paste it may be helpful to melt the chocolate before adding to the hazelnuts will prevent lumps.
