Chocolate Hazelnut Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Place the first 4 ingredients into a food processor and blend.
• Slowly pour a small amount of oil into the mix, a little at a time, until it becomes a paste (a similar consistancy to peanut butter or nutella).
• Place paste into a jar and refrigerate.
• Keeps for 1 month.

Steps:

• Place the white chocolate in a small bowl; set aside.
• In a small, heavy saucepan over moderate heat, bring the cream to a boil.
• Remove pan from heat and pour the cream over the chocolate, shaking the bowl to immerse the chocolate completely.
• Let stand for 1 minute, then beat with a wire whisk until smooth.
• Blend in the ground hazelnuts and vanilla.
• Cover and refrigerate until of spreading consistency, about 1 hour.
• *Cashewsmake a super variation!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread out nuts on a rimmed baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet. Roast, shaking sheet once for even toasting, until deep brown, 13-15 minutes. Let cool completely. (If nuts have skins, rub them in a kitchen towel to remove.)
• Grind hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor until a fairly smooth, buttery paste forms, about 1 minute.
• Place chocolate in a medium metal bowl. Set bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water; stir often until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove bowl from over saucepan; add butter and whisk until completely incorporated. Whisk in cream and salt, then hazelnut paste.
• Pour gianduja into jars, dividing equally. Let cool. (Gianduja will thicken and become soft and peanut butter- like as it cools.) Screw on lids. DO AHEAD: Gianduja can be made up to 4 weeks ahead; keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature for 4 hours to soften. Can stand at room temperature up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking pan. Toast in oven until the skins are almost black, about 15 minutes. Wrap hot hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel, and rub until most of the skins have come off. Discard skins, and place the hot hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor.
• Process nuts, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally, until they have liquefied, about 5 minutes. Set the hazelnuts aside.
• Combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips, and honey in a heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler; set over a pan of simmering water. Stirring occasionally, heat until the chocolate chips have melted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the hot-chocolate mixture to the liquefied hazelnuts, and process until the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer the spread to an airtight container, and store, refrigerated, up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Turn the hazelnuts out onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, until pale golden. Remove the nuts from the oven and cool slightly. Put the warm hazelnuts into a food processor and chop until they become an almost smooth paste.
• Gently melt the chocolate, condensed milk, and hazelnut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and add to the hazelnut paste in the food processor. Add a pinch of salt and blend, then add the hot water and blend again until the mixture has a thick, spreadable consistency.
• Spoon into a pretty sterilized jar and let cool. Cover with a lid and label when cold.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into the melted butter; bring to a boil and cook and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium; add the peanut butter and chocolate-hazelnut spread. Cook and stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the oats; stir to coat evenly. Dump the mixture into the prepared baking dish; spread into an even layer using a spatula or spoon.
• Allow the mixture to cool completely, at least 30 minutes. Remove from baking dish, lifting by the foil. Cut into bars to serve.

Steps:

• Combine white sugar and raw sugar in a food processor or blender; process until pulverized. You may have to do this in batches to not burn the motor.
• Add hazelnuts to the sugar mixture in the food processor, and continue blending until a smooth cream forms. Add powdered milk and blend to combine. Add oil and blend again.
• Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes total. Add to the cream in the food processor, and blend until everything is well combined. Pour into a glass jar and allow to cool before sealing and refrigerating.
