Nutella is a beloved chocolate-hazelnut spread enjoyed by people all over the world. While it’s undeniably delicious, it can also be quite high in calories and fat. If you’re looking for a lighter version of this delectable treat, you’re in luck! In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a light Nutella at home.

Before we dive into the recipe, it’s important to understand that our lighter version will still retain the rich flavor of Nutella but with reduced calories and fat content. Traditional Nutella contains high levels of sugar and palm oil which contributes to its creamy texture but also makes it high in unhealthy fats. Our homemade light Nutella will not only be more figure-friendly but also free from any artificial preservatives or additives.

To make light Nutella, you will need the following ingredients:

– 1 cup of roasted hazelnuts
– 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
– 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar (you can adjust the amount according to your taste)
– 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– A pinch of salt
– 2-3 tablespoons of milk (dairy or plant-based)

Now, let’s get started with the recipe:

Step 1: Roast the hazelnuts
Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly. Once roasted, allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2: Remove the skins
To achieve a smoother consistency, you’ll want to remove the skins from the hazelnuts. You can easily do this by rubbing them between your hands or using a clean kitchen towel. Don’t worry if you can’t remove all the skins; a few leftovers won’t affect the taste.

Step 3: Blend the hazelnuts
Put the roasted and skinned hazelnuts into a food processor or blender and process until they form a smooth butter-like consistency. This process may take several minutes, so be patient. Scrape down the sides of the processor occasionally to ensure all the hazelnuts are incorporated evenly.

Step 4: Add the remaining ingredients
Once the hazelnuts reach a creamy consistency, add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend again until everything is well combined. The mixture may appear thick at this stage.

Step 5: Add milk
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until the desired consistency is achieved. Start with 2 tablespoons and add an extra one if needed. The additional liquid will help to lighten the mixture and make it spreadable.

Step 6: Enjoy!
Your homemade light Nutella is ready to be devoured! Transfer it to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Spread it on toast, pancakes, or use it as a dip for fresh fruit.

By following this recipe, you can enjoy the delightful taste of Nutella while cutting down on excessive calories and fats. Experiment with the amounts of cocoa powder and sugar to achieve your preferred sweetness level. Have fun and indulge responsibly with your homemade light Nutella!
