Whether you want a cleaner ingredient list, a dairy-free version, or just a fun weekend kitchen project, this Homemade Chocolate Nutella has your name written all over it.

Why Should You Make It Yourself?

Besides the bragging rights, homemade Nutella is:

• Richer and fresher in flavor.
• Less sweet (if you want it to be).
• Customizable: Dairy-free, vegan, or sugar-conscious? No problem.
• Just 5–6 ingredients and a blender away.

What You’ll Need….

• Raw hazelnuts
• Powdered sugar (or coconut sugar, or maple syrup)
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Vanilla extract
• Neutral oil (like avocado or sunflower)
• Salt
• (Optional) Splash of milk or non-dairy milk for a creamier spread

Storage

• Store in a jar or airtight container in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before spreading—it firms up in the fridge!

So Many Ways To Use It…..

• Spread on toast, crepes, or pancakes.
• Swirl into oatmeal or yogurt.
• Dip fruit or pretzels.
• Eat with a spoon. Zero judgment here.
