Kids and grownups alike love Nutella. Let’s face it though, it’s just packed with sugar and additives, and not good to consume on a regular basis.

Here’s how to make a great ‘Nutella’ alternative. It can be used on bread, crackers, in muffins, as a filling or icing, or as a dip……just as delicious, but without the additives and ‘gunk!”

Preparation time: 10 mins

Total time: 10 mins

Servings: 4 

Your ingredients:

• 1/4 cup of chopped hazelnuts
• 1/4 cup of carob powder
• 1/4 cup of raw cacao powder
• 1/4 cup of tahini
• 1/2 cup of maple syrup (you can also use rice syrup, or honey)
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• Water, as needed

N.B. Use Chef Remi Measuring Cups Set and Chef Remi Measuring Spoons for accurate measuring of ingredients.

Directions:

How to make your ‘Nutella’ spread:

1. Heat a small skillet on medium heat and, once hot, add the chopped hazelnuts. Move the nuts around constantly using a solid spatula and watch them like a hawk as they can easily burn!
2. Place the roasted hazelnuts, carob powder, cacao powder, tahini, maple syrup, and coconut oil into a bowl. Process using a hand held food processer until you get a smooth consistency. If the mixture seems a little thick or gloopy, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you get the desired consistency.
3. Store the ‘Nutella’ spread for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. You can also freeze small, individual amounts, which can keep for up to 2 months.

Chef Remi recommends:

The Chef Remi 2 Piece Kitchen Spatula Set will eliminate foods getting spoilt or damaged when turning.

The solid spatula will turn unusual, grainy textured items, such as burgers, hash browns and vegetables, without any bits of food getting stuck in slots.

The slotted spatula will allow air to get under food items so you can turn fragile foods, such as crepes, pancakes or fish, without it sticking to the spatula surface.

And, as they are made from food-safe nylon, they will never scratch nonstick, Teflon or coated pans!
