Nutella is the brand name for a chocolate hazelnut spread product.
That popular spread also contains sugar as well as other ingredients.

A downside to eating a chocolate and hazelnut spread is that it can be high in calories as well as carbohydrates.

This recipe does not have added sugar or other unnecessary ingredients.
As a result, this recipe is lower in sugar and carbohydrates.

You may be wondering what are the benefits of Nutella.


Well, certainly, it tastes good and as a result, can make other things taste good too.
You can add chocolate hazelnut spread to other recipes or simply spread it on a piece of fruit or bread to enjoy as is.

Hazelnuts also provide us with some nutritional value.

Hazelnuts are good source of fiber and protein.

Here are some tips for making this sugar free hazelnut spread.

Feel free to roast your own hazelnuts. To do so you can roast them at 350 for 15-18 minutes on a baking sheet. Then remove any skins that are left.

Here are some more tips for you.

  1. This recipe can be made in a food processor or good blender. You will need to scrape down the sides as needed while processing the ingredients.
  2. Make this even more flavorful by subbing in another nut. You can try using ⅔ of a cup of hazelnuts with ⅓ of a cup of another nut such as almonds.
  3. I have not added salt to the list of ingredients. If you miss the salt then feel free to add up to a teaspoon of salt while processing. I would not use salted hazelnuts however, as it is hard to control the amount of salt added.

How to store copycat Nutella hazelnut spread.

Normally, you could open up a jar of the original product and store it in the pantry and not refrigerated as it will become too hard to spread (peanut butter syndrome as I call it). Since this homemade version has no preservatives added to it, I would suggest storing it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and allowing it to sit at room temperature to soften up before using it.
