Quick and easy homemade chocolate hazelnut spread<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

I’m sure you’ve all tasted Nutella spread<\/strong> and found it delicious. Our children love Nutella for their snacks, whether it’s in crepes<\/strong><\/a> or spread on toast. Since they like it so much, I also use it in some of my cakes, like the filled cookies or butchy brioche.<\/p>\n

However, when I read articles about the composition of this spread, I started to feel guilty.<\/p>\n

We know that it contains palm oil and is full of additives. This raises concerns about possible health effects. <\/p>\n

That said, trying to convince children that Nutella is unhealthy is no easy task. That’s why it was essential to find a healthy alternative that tasted just as good.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, chef Christophe Michalak has created an incredibly delicious chocolate hazelnut spread that really is like Nutella. The taste and texture are delightful, and it\u2019s better than store-bought Nutella. I highly recommend you try it, especially if your children love it.<\/p>\n

You’ll need a good food processor to make hazelnut paste, also known as duja<\/strong>. The smoother it is, the silkier your spread will be.<\/p>\n

Some prefer to keep the paste slightly rough, with fine bits of hazelnuts, which makes it even more indulgent. Personally, I make it very smooth, as you can see in the photos.<\/p>\n

Don’t confuse duja with gianduja. Duja is a paste made from nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts, blended with powdered sugar until a smooth paste is formed. The gianduja <\/strong><\/a> is duja to which melted milk chocolate is added. It’s divine.<\/p>\n

I made a few adjustments to make the spread as similar to Nutella as possible in terms of color and consistency. I added a little dark chocolate and oil. However, you can adhere to the original recipe based on your preferences.<\/p>\n

There are many recipes in which you can use this homemade spread to replace Nutella.<\/p>\n
