Keto, Sugar Free Chocolate Hazelnut Spread “Nutella”

Who doesn’t love Nutella? I honestly don’t know anyone. Everyone in my family loves Nutella. So you can imagine how many birthday cakes, brownies & cookies are baked by yours truly that contain Nutella.

It’s only natural to want to enjoy food that you love or simply have great memories with. For my family Chocolate is big, I mean huge. No matter what the occasion, there’s always chocolate cake and brownies, yes both.

I am always trying to ketofy recipes so I never have to feel deprived. So yes I always bake brownies and cakes and cookies that are keto friendly so I can live and enjoy my best keto life.

Nutella is something I make and never get to eat more than once because my kids gobble it up before I can blink. But it makes me feel better about what they’re putting in their bodies. There’s no sugar because I use Lilly’s milk chocolate chips (you can use dark but to get real close to Nutella flavor, I prefer milk chocolate). Hazelnuts and coconut oil are an amazing source of nutrition and healthy fats. heavy cream adds that perfect smooth & creamy richness to the spread.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. Lilly’s or sugar free chocolate chips of choice

  • 2 tablespoons sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a micro safe bowl for two 30 second intervals.
  • Whisk using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until smooth.. It’s important to not use metal, the chocolate can cease and you can end up with a mess.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream a couple of tablespoons at a time until you have a smooth ganache. Make sure not to add all the heavy cream at once. Set aside.
  • Blend the hazelnuts, sweetener and salt in a blender (not a food processor). Blend until you have a creamy nut butter. Blender is better because you will get a much smoother nut butter which will make a smoother spread.
  • Add the hazelnut butter into the prepared ganache. Whisk using a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon, until smooth.
  • You can stop here or strain through a fine mesh if you prefer a really smooth texture. Keep refrigerated.
  • Do not add the chocolates ganache into the blender, it will separate and become a mess.
  • This recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months. bring to room temperature before spreading.

Notes

It is important to use silicone or wooden spatula and whisk when preparing this recipe. Chocolate will cease if you use metal And no you can not blend the chocolate ganache in the blender. It will split and be a giant mess. Been there, done that lol. You don’t have to strain the the spread of you don’t mind the grainy texture but my kids prefer smooth spread so I strain it . So after all my trails and errors, I have the perfect combination of sweet, chocolatey, & nutty spread that’ll beat Nutella any day! I keep it in the fridge.
