Ingredients

  • 16 oz. raw hazelnuts
  • 2 tbsp. hazelnut oil walnut or pecan oil
  • 12 oz. chocolate chopped (I used 6 oz. milk, 6 oz. semisweet)
  • 1/3 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, place in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes or until the skins begin to darken (but not burn). Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing the skins.
  • To remove the skins, rub with a clean dry kitchen towel OR use two metal bowls (that are the same size) and shake the hazelnuts vigorously inside (this process can take several minutes).
  • Place the hazelnuts into a large food processor or high speed blender (like a Vitamix, Ninja or Blendtec), and grind for 1 minute. Add oil and grind for an additional minute.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate until smooth. Pour into food processor along with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and sea salt. Blend for 5 minutes or until smooth.
  • Allow to cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter spread, you can add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar instead of 1/3 cup.
