This creamy homemade chocolate hazelnut spread is a healthier twist on classic Nutella and a true kids’ favourite (and adults’!). Naturally sweetened and made with just a few simple ingredients, it’s perfect on toast, pancakes, waffles, or straight from the spoon.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 1 small jar
Ingredients:
-
250 g organic hazelnut mousse (100% hazelnut butter)
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
¼ cup organic cocoa powder
-
⅓ cup maple syrup
-
½ cup milk of your choice (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or similar)
Instructions:
-
Sterilise a glass jar by filling it with boiling water and letting it sit for about 5 minutes, then carefully pour out the water and let the jar air-dry completely.
-
Add hazelnut mousse, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and milk to a bowl or blender.
-
Mix or blend until the mixture is silky smooth and spreadable, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
Taste and adjust: add a little more maple syrup for extra sweetness or a bit more cocoa for a deeper chocolate flavour.
-
Pour the spread into the sterilised jar, seal well, and place it in the fridge.
Pro Tip:
-
Store the spread in the fridge and enjoy within 5–7 days for the best taste and freshness.
-
Serve it on warm toast, with apple slices, over pancakes, or swirled into yogurt for a quick, kid-approved snack.
