So a part of my pastry bootcamp class, we made Nutella. I completely fell in love with this recipe. It is not as sweet a s the store bought nutella. There is more of a hazelnut flavor to this version. I realized that I left my recipe at home. As soon as I get home, I'll update the post with the recipe ratios.
Here are the basic ingredients: (updated
(Adapted from the French Pastry school)
500 G Hazelnut Praline (Either homemade or storebought)
125 G Butter at Room Temp
125 g Melted Chocolate (I believe it is a 1 part chocolate to 4 parts hazelnut praline )
Pinch of Salt
Directions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor. Let it mix for about 5-10 minutes until you get the consistancy you like.
I used it as a topping to my ice cream sunday (banana, strawberry ice cream, and strawberries)
I'm obessed now, don't be surprised if there are more nutella post. I almost forgot to tell you, myself and Anna, went on a huge production of making nutella a couple of weeks ago. I got a 7 lb can of pralines which equaled about 10 jars of nutella.
Check back tonight for the recipe.
Oh how great is this!? This is now on my list of things to make. Of course I will probably eat all of it all by myself. :)
ReplyDeleteHomemade nutella? This sounds wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! When I was in Italy, I often had oatmeal for breakfast with banana, nutella and peanut butter mixed in. Pure deliciousness!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!! Can't wait for Christmas! =D
ReplyDeleteMmmhmm - I love Nutella, so much that it can go dangerously fast and I try not to keep it around. But homemade nutella - can't wait to try it! And what a great idea for Christmas presents! Do you know how long it can keep for?
ReplyDeleteNutella is my most favorite food in the whole world. I don't make recipes with it because most of it ends up on my spoon and into my mouth. Can't wait to see the recipe!

ReplyDeleteYou seriously made your own? Where can you find hazelnut praline?
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with Nutella and I love the recipe! I'm about to make vats of it!
ReplyDelete*drool* Didn't know nutella was so easy to make :)
ReplyDeletewow! I'm so impressed you made your own nutella! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, my taste buds! I've been eating Nutella since I was a little kid. I still spread it over toast some mornings. I am soooo gonna attempt to make my own. Writing down the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI think nutella is in a food group all its own!
ReplyDeleteI agree, homemade Nutella is much better. But I still keep 2 jars of the store-bought.:)
ReplyDeleteThis could become a dangerous weapon to my waist!
ReplyDeleteI never imagined making nutella at home. So much better than what you buy...that is laden with sugar
ReplyDeleteWow!! Amazing! You made your own nutella. Love it when I was a kid, still love it now.
ReplyDeleteI love nutella. It brings back fond memories of having it in Europe way back when. I must go buy some strawberries and bananas now! You make it look so yummy!
ReplyDeletewhat a great job with your nutella! I bet it is so much better than the store bought version!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the recipe!
ooh, make your own nutella! what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've never even tasted it (how awful is that)? I've heard of it a lot, but there's that whole chocolate thing. :(
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how delicious this must be! I find it positively irresistible! Give me a spoon and a jar of that and I am one very happy girl.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea I could make my own nutella! I just bought a jar, but as soon as that's done I will be trying this!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous! I love nutella, but I would like it even better if it was a little less sweet, so this will suit my tastebud's perfectly. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Nutella recipe. I can't wait to try the homemade version.
