Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- Blending hazelnuts takes patience — keep going for 5–7 minutes and scrape sides regularly until truly creamy.
- The more skins you remove, the smoother and less bitter the final spread.
Storage:
- Refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before spreading if it’s too firm.
Swaps:
- Use maple syrup instead of powdered sugar for a less sweet, more natural version.
- Replace hazelnuts with almonds or cashews for a different nut butter chocolate spread.
Tips:
- Roasting is the key step — it deepens the hazelnut flavor dramatically and makes the skins easier to remove.
