We advise that you prepare all the above ingredients before starting.
You will typically need: a scale, measuring cups, mixing bowls.
1 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2 - Spread the hazelnuts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) and roast them at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
3 - Add the sugar to a saucepan (or like us a saucier pan) and gently melt the sugar over medium-low heat until the caramel is golden brown.
Tip: All-Clad is the gold standard for professional quality stainless steel cookware.
4 - Once the caramel is ready, pour it on a silicone mat with the help of a spatula, and allow it to cool completely. Then, break the caramel into pieces by hand, and set aside.
5 - Add the roasted hazelnuts and the caramel pieces into a food processor (or a powerful blender such as a Vitamix). Then, blend until completely smooth. It may take 4 to 6 minutes depending on how powerful your blender is.
Tip: Here, we are using the excellent Breville Sous Chef food processor. If you opted for a blender instead, Vitamix blenders are by far the best we have ever owned: Vitamix Explorian, Vitamix Professional Series 750, and the new generation Vitamix A3500.
6 - Mix in the sea salt flakes with a spoon and store the hazelnut praline paste in a food container or a glass jar.
1 - Place the dark chocolate and the cocoa butter into a bowl and microwave them for about 1 minute (or until fully melted).
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
2 - In a larger bowl, combine the hazelnut butter and the hazelnut praline paste, and mix until well combined with a spatula.
3 - Mix in the melted chocolate mixture.
4 - Store your homemade Nutella in a food container or a glass jar at room temperature.
5 - Enjoy!
