    Fake Nutella - Chocolate Hazelnut Butter


    Source of Recipe


    Oregon Hazelnuts website; link posted by Cheryl Harris

    Recipe Introduction


    Note from Jo: Originally the recipe came from www.oregonhazelnuts.org but they no longer supply a link to it. I got these instructions from RecipeZaar and used their link.

    List of Ingredients




    * 2 cups (9 oz.) Oregon hazelnuts, roasted
    * 1-1/4 cups powdered sugar
    * 3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa

    Recipe



    In Food Processor:

    Place roasted hazelnuts in food processor container with all-purpose blade.

    Process to coarse butter texture, about 3 minutes.

    Gradually add sugar, salt or other ingredients through feed tube.

    Scrape down sides; continue to process until desired texture is achieved, 4 to 7 minutes.

    In Blender:

    Place roasted hazelnuts and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in blender container and grind to meal on low speed.

    Continue to blend on low for several minutes, scraping down sides of container as required and adding another tablespoon of oil, if necessary.

    When butter is fairly fluid, blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired texture is achieved.

    Gradually add other ingredients and blend on low until thoroughly mixed.

    FOR CRUNCHY BUTTER: Stir in 1/4 cup roasted, chopped hazelnuts or raw sunflower seeds to finished butter.

    Makes 1-3/4 cups butter.

    These butter recipes are for"old-fashioned" butters with no stabilizers; if they are kept refrigerated, very little oil separation will occur.

    Shelf life is about 3 months in the refrigerator.
