RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Rub the hazelnuts with a kitchen tea towel to remove the skins. This can be a little messy, so make sure you're close to the sink and a rubbish bin! I find it helpful if the tea towel is slightly damp.
If you don't like the taste of coconut oil, you can use canola oil or vegetable oil instead.
If you prefer, you can use your Thermomix to melt the chocolate. Melt for 3 minutes, 50 degrees, Speed 2. Set aside in a seperate bowl while you prepare the hazelnut paste. Personally, I prefer to melt my chocolate in the microwave so that I don't have to clean the Thermomix bowl in between melting the chocolate and making the hazelnut paste.
Food processor or blender method - this recipe can be made in a food processor or blender. Simply mix on high speed and proceed as per the recipe.
If you find that your Nutella is a little too dry or thick for your liking, simply add a small amount of extra oil and blend through.
Store in a sterilised glass jar or tightly sealed plastic container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Allow the homemade Nutella to come to room temperature before using.
Alternatively, homemade Nutella can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before bringing to room temperature to use.
