How to Make Nutella - Better Than Store-Bought!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Bold Bakers! Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the horrific fires in Los Angeles. We’re safe but monitoring the situation. Thank you to all first responders, especially the brave firefighters who are true heroes.

[@joolikirven3821]

The situation is horrific, were watching from England. Stay safe Gemma xx

[@beanie7547]

I’m glad you’re safe. I find the Italian hazelnut spread and European Nutella not as sweet as the American. We use way too much sugar in our foods.

[@terrymovold4364]

Glad to hear you and yours are currently safe. Specialized wildfire firefighters from here in Alberta are on standby orders for CA, as are others from our regular departments across the province. Praying that everyone stay safe! 🙏

[@c2bienaime]

I hope you are also safe Gemma along with your family

[@paulamigoswami4949]

Be safe and I hope situation will be under control very soon ....God bless you and your family and all the people of los Angeles......

Hi chef I hope you are well ❤ this homemade nutella is looking absolutely yum 😋 can I use plain powdered sugar without added cornstarch or does the cornstarch serve a purpose for this spread?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, absolutely. It does help make set, but you can use other sweeteners so it's really not a deal breaker in this recipe.

[@sanskritijain5248]

@@biggerbolderbaking alright thanks chef ❤

[@chelvis8114]

I always wanted to make home made Nutella, finally got the recipe. Thank you so much. George is so sweet. I use diary free chocolate, one thing I noticed is diary free chocolate doesn't melt and cool smoothly as regular chocolate. Is it ok to omit the chocolate part? Thank you again

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, you can leave the. chocolate out. Note however that doing so will change the flavor profile for homemade nutella. It will be different, but can be just as good as you like it. Hope this helps.

Gemma,your homemade Nutella recipe looks so good and tasty,I wonder if I can make it homemade at home.What can go with homemade Nutella ?Does it have to be covered in the fridge?

You certainly can make this at home, Kim. It can be used as you would with store bought Nutella; spreads, drizzle on ice cream, cakes or make into cookies. Check out the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-nutella-recipe/

[@malakawickramasinghe]

Hi Gemma I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning… the old video of this recipe is good but I think the new and improved version is even better!! Adding melted milk chocolate..genius. But I have a question, what if the chocolate solidifies and becomes small chips of chocolate? I mean it’ll be good , but wouldn’t it affect the texture?

Happy and joyous new year to you, Gemma! Thank you for this recipe; I can’t wait to try it…I’m a Nutella nut 🤭🤭🤭. If I were to want a thicker end product, like the original is, would I just use less oil, or would more steps be involved? Thanks again❣️

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, that i correct. You can reduce the oil to make it thicker. Oil is added to make it more spreadable. Hope this helps.

Go for it! Here's the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-nutella-recipe/

[@ria9881]

Thanks for this recipe! My youngest and I will really enjoy this. But I would love a chocolate spread recipe. My older daughter has tree nut allegies. With that she also can't do seeds. So the typical sunflower butter is also a no-go. I know how to make ganache, but that's a bit too thick. Do you know what I could do to make a creamier chocolate only spread?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

We haven't tried making one. Generally a flavorless vegetable oil is used to make spreads spreadable. We can't make any recommendations on recipes we haven't tried yet, sorry.

[@samra2386]

Maybe try chocolate tahini spread? You can eyeball it to your desired consistency and you can use also bits of sesame oil if the mixture is too thick if you don't want to use the regular vegetable oil.

[@ria9881]

@samra2386 tahini is made from sesame seeds. She can't do seeds.

[@제정은-f7j]

No peanuts, either? I wonder if toasted milk powder can mix well into homemade spread.

[@ria9881]

@제정은-f7j so, she CAN eat peanuts... those are legumes. Not nuts or seeds. However, she just dislikes the taste. I can't win! Lol. Toasted milk powder..... hmmmm I don't think it would be a mixing issue. But I don't know if it would have the same texture in the end. I think it needs that 'meatyness' that the seeds/nuts give. Thanks for the suggestion!

Love this thank you. If you don't want to use sugar would blended dates or honey work as well? 😊

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Glad you like it. You can use sugar substitutes in this recipe. Use powdered sugar labeled as vegan or make your own Homemade Powdered Sugar using coconut sugar, monk fruit sweetener, or date sugar. Or use paste, maple syrup, agave syrup. Hope this helps.

[@pamellahanson]

Thank you, looking forward to making some. 🙏

[@rebeca4115]

hi gemma! will definitely try. do you think it would work with a blender instead of a food processor?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, a high powered blender will be fine. Hope you get on well with it!

[@OracleChick]

Ooooo, I wonder if I can do this with peanuts so I can have my own Nutella.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Technically, you can. You can also use almond, cashew, pecan or macadamia nuts. Check out the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-nutella-recipe/ Enjoy!

Gemma, do you think the powdered sugar could be replaced with Stevia? Thank you SO much for this recipe! I have everything needed right in my pantry!

Yes, you can use powdered Stevia in place of the powdered sugar in this recipe. Go for it! www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-nutella-recipe/

[@ashQueenJLT85]

Hi Gemma. How did you make the milk chocolate? Did you just melt ‘milk’ chocolate bars in the microwave? Did you add anything? How much percentage cocoa in that bar? Thanks

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I melted the chocolate using a bain marie www.biggerbolderbaking.com/bain-marie You want to make sure your bowl fits snugly over the saucepan, so the steam is trapped beneath it. When melting chocolate, you don’t want steam to come out from the sides of the bowl, as the moisture can make your chocolate seize, which is hard to fix. Hope this helps.

[@jeanmcandrew7696]

[@user-ex9lv7dl5j]

Can I use olive oil or any healthier oils?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, you can. Note that flavor may change with the substitution.

[@TheOnlyOneSpeedfreak]

I make that with good creamy white chocolate, and no cocoa ofc, and get white nutella. I just eat the whole thing in 3 days, its way too good.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks for sharing!

[@elkegreiser1799]

Have you red the ingredientes for the white chocolate?!?!

[@callioscope]

Dutched cocoa or natural cocoa-does it matter?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, it does. Natural cocoa tastes way better.

[@callioscope]

@ I did not know that. I do buy high fat cocoa powders of both varieties but did not realize natural was better. Thank you!

[@gayatrirathi5474]

Can it be made in mixer jar?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm not sure how that will turn out. You can use a hand mixer instead.

I like a stiffer nutella, so is there a way to stiffen it up a bit?

Hi. Oil is added in this to achieve a more spreadable consistency. If you like a stiffer nutella, reduce or leave out the vegetable oil. Hope this helps.

Can we get a homemade pistachio paste? The ones on Amazon are so expensive.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

We'll look into it. Thank you for sharing.

[@katyhimes5807]

question: Why do baking recipes call for unsalted butter but then add salt?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Not all recipes do. Based on feedback, some bakers find salted butter, too salty, hence the option to go for unsalted. They add salt, to enhance flavor, but not so much if preferred. Salt is mainly in the recipe for flavor.

[@stephenelewis]

Speaking of nutella deliciousness being "dangerous", I once made sweet rolls with nutella, rolled up like cinnamon rolls... I tasted one and immediately said, "Oh. I can't ever make this again." It was instantly addictive! Death by chocolate(!) ha! But what a way to go...

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I know what you mean. That's the advantage of making this at home - we know what's in it, and we can make them in small batches. In everything, moderation, most of the time, is key. 🤗

[@darrellbedford4857]

[@minnamae25]

Trying to find hazelnuts where I live is next to impossible. I looked into ordering some and that's not going to happen. 😂 Our neighbor brought us over a pantry box from one of the local food drives and I was shocked to see hazelnuts in it. So that 1 time I got to make nutella and now I'm sad because i want to make more and can't find any nuts where I live. Bummer right?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Sorry to hear that. You can use almond, cashew, pecan or macadamia instead. Hope this helps.

[@minnamae25]

@biggerbolderbaking I have a ton of almonds. I will try with those. Thanks.

[@betht3410]

Mine is a little granular. Maybe I didn't melt the chocolate correctly?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It could be that, or the nuts needed more time to be broken down in the food processor. You can strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve, or blend it a little longer until it reaches the right consistency.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that yet. I would go with slow baking it in an oven, so it does not burn. Hope this somehow helps.

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

Maybe I can do this with sunflower seeds

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Not so sure about sunflower seeds. But if you are experimenting, we'd love to hear how it turns out. Alternatively, you can use these nuts as well: Almonds: Use roasted almonds for a similar texture, with a slightly sweeter taste. They make a delicious, creamy spread. Cashews: These provide a rich, smooth texture and a mild flavor. Cashew Nutella will be extra creamy. Pecans: Roasted pecans give a deep, buttery flavor and work well for a unique twist on Nutella. Macadamia Nuts: These will create a rich, buttery spread with a smooth texture, perfect for an indulgent nutty treat. Hope this helps.

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

@biggerbolderbaking My husband is allergic to nuts, it's why I was hoping we could do sunflower seeds. The seed Nutella alternative in store uses toasted sesame seeds and the flavor is much too strong. Can't taste the chocolate.

[@JessicaRussianSifontes]

Is it healthier? Sure. Is the taste better or even similar? No. Is the price comparable? Also no. Will it last the same? Nope.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing your opinion. Others may not agree with them, though.

[@karlamarx5954]

Why is she wearing oven mitts when the pan is cold???

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi. The oven has already been preheated, hence the use of mittens in placing the pan into it.

[@ali18398]

What if I use peanuts instead of hazelnuts? Is going to taste good? Any idea anyone?

[@Melindrea]

The flavour profile will be slightly different, but any nut (or seed) should work with this. Personally I'm considering dropping the sugar and do a cashew-hazelnut mix (with dark chocolate)

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can use other nuts, peanuts included. The flavor profile will be different but it can still be a good result.

i would use coconut oil, if you use vegetable oil.. you are making it as bad as the store bought version

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can use coconut oil if preferred. Using vegetable oil yields a result that is close to store bought nutella, which is what we are trying to recreate.
