Dairy-free Homemade Nutella

Ingredients:

2 cups hazelnuts
1-2 tsp. canola oil
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup honey

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Spread the hazelnuts out on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice, until the skins break and the nuts look pale golden. Pour the nuts from the sheet onto a clean tea towel and let cool.

Once cooled, rub the nuts in the tea towel to loosen their skins. (Don’t worry about getting every bit of them off.) Put the nuts into the bowl of a food processor and discard the skins left over in the towel.
Pulse the hazelnuts until they are completely ground. Let the machine run, adding about a teaspoon of canola oil, for 2-3 minutes or until it turns into a thick paste. Add the cocoa, honey and another teaspoon of canola oil and blend for another minute, until it becomes spreadable.

Store in a jar or sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
