The Easy Way to Make Nutella

Making homemade ‘Nutella’ sounds complicated. It’s not! Don’t be intimidated. It’s actually quite simple:

  1. Just throw some roasted hazelnuts in your food processor and blend smooth.
  2. Then add in some melted dark chocolate and sweetener (I like this pure stevia powder — no weird aftertaste!)
  3. Salt, vanilla and coconut cream take it over the top. #obsessed.

ps. If you’re a fan of Nutella, be sure to check out my Keto Nutella Bark! Who *doesn’t* love hazelnut and chocolate together?? It’s so good.

Sweetener Alternatives

It doesn’t take much to sweeten this pie. I used just a pinch of this highly concentrated stevia. (Plus the chocolate adds some sweetness, too)

You only need about the equivalent of 1 Tbs pure maple syrup or

Whip and Swirl

Homemade ‘nutella’ + whipped cream + more ‘nutella’ swirled on top = one LUSCIOUS dessert!!

For this pie, I whipped the cream separately first, then folded in the ‘nutella’. This makes it even lighter (see those delicious tiny air pockets?) Sort of like a rich chocolate mousse! Decadent!!

And then added MORE whipped cream on top. I absolutely love the added fluffy creamy texture with the rich pie AND the crunch hazelnuts on top. (I love me some texture!)

Ingredients

Crust

"Nutella" Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups roasted hazelnuts - (plus 1/4 cup for garnish)
  • 1 13.6 oz can coconut milk - solid cream only
  • 1 3 oz bar of dark chocolate - sugar-free for keto
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of pure stevia powder - + 1 Tbs water OR 1 Tbs maple syrup, to taste
  • pinch of pink salt
  • Whipped coconut cream - for garnish

Instructions

To make the crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a 7" springform pan with parchment.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (flour, salt and stevia, if using).
  • In a small bowl bowl, stir together flax and water, and set aside to thicken. Pour flax mixture and melted coconut oil over dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Press dough firmly into pan. Prick crust all over with a fork.
  • Bake for aprox. 15 min until firm and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

To make the filling:

  • Place roasted hazelnuts in food processor and blend until liquefied (see notes)
  • Scrape down sides and add melted chocolate and salt. Blend smooth.
  • Scoop out solid coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Add vanilla, 1 Tbs coconut water (leftover from the can) plus a pinch of stevia (or 1 Tbs maple syrup)
  • Whip cream with a hand mixer for 30-60 seconds until light and fluffy.
  • Gently fold in chocolate hazelnut mixture (reserving a few Tbs to swirl on top, if you like) Taste and add a little more sweetener if needed.
  • Pour filling over crust. Scoop on remaining nutella & swirl.
  • Freeze for 1-2 hours until set. Garnish with whipped coconut cream (see notes) and chopped hazelnuts.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

What I used:
Small springform pan
Cuisinart Food Processor
For the hazelnuts: Place hazelnuts on a rimmed cookie sheet and roast about 8 minutes at 350 (until fragrant). Allow to cool. Place in a clean towel and rub together to remove skins for a smoother hazelnut butter.
To make Coconut Whipped Cream: 
  1. Use a can of Thai Kitchen coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight. Do not shake can.
  2. Carefully open and scoop out ONLY the solid white cream, careful not to get any water in the bowl.
  3. Add 1 tsp vanilla and sweetener of choice (7 drops Stevia, dash of stevia powder, 2-3 tsp maple syrup, or 1 Tbs powdered coconut sugar)
  4. Whip with a hand mixer for about 1 minute until light and fluffy. Enjoy!
To store: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or frozen for 1 month.
