Thrive Short Order | DIY Nutella {minus the health-harming ingredients}

This recipe is in honor of a friend of mine. She's a serious Nutella fan. I'm talking eating directly out of the jar with a spoon over the kitchen sink kind of enthusiast. Since I am concerned she might incur serious health issues from the poor quality oil, processed sugar and conventionally grown ingredients (which most likely contain GMOs), I decided a healthy alternative was in order. Namely, one that would not turn into an ordeal. What we needed was a lightening quick recipe with easily assessable ingredients. Not to mention it had to be convincingly delicious. I think this one fits the bill.

Cooking School | Fresh Hazelnut Butter


Ingredients ...

2 1/2 cups raw hazelnuts

Method ...

Preheat oven to 350ºF. On a baking sheet, roast the hazelnut for 8-10 minutes until skins begin to crack. Remove from oven. While still warm, roll the nuts in between both hands to remove the skin.

Place the nuts In a food processor and pulse until granular. Next, blend non-stop until the mixture turns creamy. You may need to scrape the sides of the processor bowl a few times for an even consistency.
