Homemade Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread

Not rated yetRate it

Homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread is prepared from roasted hazelnuts blended with milk, cocoa, chocolate, coconut oil, and honey. The spread is smooth, rich, and naturally sweetened, with a deep chocolate-nut flavor. Coconut oil adds creaminess and stability, while honey provides sweetness without refined sugar.

This spread is suitable for serving on bread, pancakes, waffles, or as a dessert filling. It thickens slightly after chilling and keeps well when refrigerated. Try it with No-Knead Seed Bread
