Ingredients

1 cup hazelnuts toasted
1 cup powdered cane or regular sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons extra light olive oil or coconut oil
A pinch of salt
1/4 cup melted chocolate optional
1/2 tablespoon hazelnut oil optional

Instructions

Measure and add 1 cup toasted hazelnuts to a food processor jar. You can also add 1 cup of almonds or mix of hazelnut and almonds too.
Begin to process it from low speed to high speed. First powder the nuts thoroughly.
On further processing the nuts will become a thick paste by releasing natural oils.
Keep processing again on high speed and on blending it will become hazelnut butter or almond butter.
Now with the food processor running, slowly add powdered sugar, salt, cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon light olive oil or coconut oil to the nut butter. Also slowly drizzle the melted chocolate now if you are using it for making nutella.
Continue processing again in high speed for a minute or until the nutella is glossy, smooth and creamy. The texture should be similar to brownie batter.
Transfer to airtight jars or any other resealable container and store homemade nutella in refrigerator or at room temperature. This spread will thicken as it cools and will dilute a bit when left at room temperature for few minutes.

Notes

1. If the mixture does not turn silky and smooth add 1 more tablespoon oil while processing
2. You can peanuts or almonds instead of hazelnuts
