Homemade Nutella

6 servings

50 minutes

Homemade Nutella is the embodiment of refined taste and warm childhood memories. Its history begins in classic American cuisine, where nut paste and chocolate became symbols of morning comfort. The delicate, velvety cream with a rich nut flavor complemented by hints of vanilla and cocoa creates a harmony that captivates from the first moment. Unlike store-bought versions, this Nutella has a more natural taste, revealing the richness of nuts and the subtlety of cocoa. It can be used as a filling for pastries, added to porridge, spread on fresh toast or simply enjoyed by the spoonful. Thick, aromatic and infused with home warmth, it becomes an indispensable addition to cozy tea times and sweet moments in life.

Ingredients

• Chicken egg: 1.5 pc
• Milk: 2.5 glass
• Butter: 5 g
• Wheat flour: 4 tbsp
• Sugar: 2 glass
• Walnuts: 260 g
• Cocoa powder: 3 tbsp
• Vanillin: pinch
• Hazelnuts: 80 g

Cooking steps

1. Whisk the eggs with sugar until the mixture changes color to a lighter, even white, and until the sugar is completely dissolved.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 1.5 piece
   • Sugar: 2 glasss

2. Add wheat flour slowly to avoid lumps - it's easier to prevent them than to dissolve them later. You can use a whisk, mixer, or a regular table fork.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 4 tablespoons

3. When the flour is fully 'incorporated' into the mixture of eggs and sugar, you can start adding cocoa. Regarding this ingredient - strictly follow the recipe, otherwise the paste may turn out bitter (if you add too much cocoa) or underwhelming (if you don't add enough). A little secret - use sweet cocoa instead of bitter; it will be easier not to overdo it and there won't be a bitter aftertaste.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cocoa powder: 3 tablespoons

4. Nuts should be chopped and lightly roasted in a dry pan (optional). You can chop the nuts with a mixer or coffee grinder. The nut powder should be added to our chocolate paste mixture and thoroughly mixed.

   Required ingredients:

   • Walnuts: 260 g
   • Hazelnuts: 80 g

5. After the nuts, it's time to add butter, which should be soft but not melting.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 5 g

6. We add vanillin on the tip of the knife.

   Required ingredients:

   • Vanillin:  pinch

7. Pour the prepared mixture with milk and mix very thoroughly to avoid lumps.

   Required ingredients:

   • Milk: 2.5 glasss

8. Place a bowl or pot with the mixture on the stove, turn on a very low flame, and start cooking, or rather reducing our paste. During the cooking process, it must be stirred; otherwise, it may burn. After about 20 minutes, the paste will thicken to the desired consistency, and you can turn off the heat and pour the homemade Nutella into jars. Enjoy your meal!
