Homemade Nutella

A few weeks ago I got very excited by the idea of creating my own homemade nutella. My delight was in the notion that Aars would be able to enjoy dairy-free, soya-free nutella… However it didn’t turn out how I had hoped – the hazelnuts stayed a bit grainy, so the end result was not as smoooooth as I’d anticipated.  That said, I have been using it in my baking and it has been awesome for that, and I reckon it would rock in smoothies too.

My sisters thought that some people might still appreciate the recipe, as some may not be as fussy as I am about these things… so here it is – for you to use in the other recipes I am going to share as I use it all up!! You may be able to refine it so that it does work as a nutella in it’s own right – and if you do please pass the recipe on! Thank you x
