I swear Christmas is sneaking up on me. One minute I had all the time in the world and next I am scrambling and trying to get everything done. I got most of my shopping done except for The Best Friend (Girl). This weekend is a cooking candy weekend and maybe breads. For my fourth gift, I made Nutella. For those do not know what Nutella is, it is hazelnut and chocolate goodness. This is a favorite in my house and since I learned to make it in my Pastry Boot camp, I made it all the time. I thought it was perfect for Christmas and most of my friends and family knows or maybe has Nutella in their house. I love my recipe because it is not as sweet as the store bought version. I purchase 7 lbs of Hazelnut Praline so I am making a lot of nutella. Here is an updated version of the recipe:
Nutella
(Adapted from the French Pastry school)
517 G of Hazelnut Praline
155 G of Dark Chocolate, Melted
155 G of Butter, Soften
1 Tsp of salt
Direction
- Mix together in a food processor (mixing it by hand is quite hard).
- Once it is well incorporated: jar it up, serve it, or just eat it straight from the container
I’m now debating what type of bread to go with this for my gift baskets…..any suggestions?
I think a cinnamon swirl bread would be delicious. I have one on my site that I just love. Or a dark chocolate loaf. Yum! Thank you for sharing with me, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make this for my little niece who would eat Nutella for every meal if she could. It sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteI love this home made nutella recipe! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteChristmas IS sneaking up on us! I feel just as you do. But I would be a very happy person if I received a jar of this delicious homemade nutella.
ReplyDeleteYour nutella looks so good. Where did you get hazelnut praline? i think that Nutella would be good with banana bread.
ReplyDeleteI actually found the hazelnut praline on amazon.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this does look like the perfect gift! In fact, there are several bloggers around that would be drooling for this recipe alone.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till my jars come, I have my nut paste here and ready.
ReplyDeleteYou made your own nutella? Wow! That is so cool! We love nutella and my son always asks for a spoonful of nutella for breakfast...
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought of making Nutella myself since they're mostly available here...but making it yourself really makes a big difference...happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so yummy and creamy :) Ohhhh you are so amazing making your own netella :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love nutella and I'll be makin' my own one day, thanks to your recipe..
ReplyDeleteooh that looks so good- I would put it on any and everything!
ReplyDeleteCurse you for posting this recipe! It's a slippery slope. If I start making nutella I'll never stop eating it and so much for my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteJust got home and did ALL my shopping today, done! This is the easiest and best nutella recipe I have seen yet!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that your making your own Nutella!
ReplyDeleteWhere would I be able to find a conversion table for the G to cups or ounces? A trusted site or could you possibly post it? That would be so helpful, I plan on making this for Christmas baskets with possibly some home made bread as well to compliment it. Thank you so much for posting this recipe, now time to go on making this myself. Thank so much and have a wonderful day!
