Beat the store-bought version and make your own nutella at home! This Homemade Nutella is incredibly easy to make at home in a food processor. It's silky smooth, chocolatey, and healthier than store-bought.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spread raw, unroasted hazelnuts on a sheet pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until they've lightly browned and the shells have cracked. In the meantime, melt the chocolate in a heat safe bowl in 20 second intervals in the microwave. Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow them to cool.
Pour the hazelnuts into an old kitchen towel. Fold the edges in to create a sack and rub the hazelnuts for 3-5 minutes until most of the skin comes off. Pick out the hazelnuts, leaving the skins behind, and put them into a food processor.
Run the food processor on high for about 5 minutes until a paste forms, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add in the vanilla extract, salt, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and coconut oil. Continue running the food processor until all the ingredients have combined in a smooth and creamy spread.
Pour the spread into a sanitized container. Serve immediately or store.
