Ingredients

  • 130 g Nuts, hazelnuts

  • 340 g chocolate, dark

  • 2 spoons Oil, plant, almond

  • 3 spoons Powdered sugar

  • 1 spoon Cocoa, powdered, unsweetened

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, imitation

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a shallow baking tray. Place the tray with the hazelnuts in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes.

  2. Transfer the roasted hazelnuts to one half of a clean kitchen towel. Cover the hazelnuts with the other half of the towel and gently roll them with your hands until all the skins are removed. Let the peeled hazelnuts cool completely.

  3. Coarsely chop the milk chocolate, transfer it to a smaller bowl (cup), and melt it in a water bath.

  4. Place the cooled hazelnuts in a food processor and grind them until a completely smooth hazelnut mixture forms (similar to hazelnut butter). Then add sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, oil, and salt. Mix everything until a uniform and completely smooth mixture is formed. Finally, add the melted chocolate and mix everything well once more.

  5. Transfer the prepared spread to a bowl, chill if desired, and serve.

Advice

A water bath is used for melting and dissolving delicate foods and ingredients or for frothy mixing. Pour enough water into a wide and shallow cup so that you can place a smaller bowl in it (the bottom of the smaller bowl should not touch the water!). The water in the lower cup should not boil. Instead of hazelnut oil, you can also use another mild vegetable oil, such as rapeseed oil. Store the spread in a jar for preservation.
