Course Dessert, Dip
Cuisine American, Italian
Prep Time 15 minutes minutes
Servings 2 tablespoons
Calories 114kcal

Ingredients

2 cups roasted hazelnuts peeled2 tablespoons avocado oil cup cocoa powder2 tablespoons powdered monk fruit or your preferred keto sweetener¼ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon vanilla extractketo-friendly milk (such as almond milk or coconut milk) optional, as needed for consistency

Instructions

Place the roasted, peeled hazelnuts in a food processor or high-powered blender. Process them for a few minutes.
Add avocado oil and process until it turns into a smooth nut butter consistency.

This process may take several minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides of the processor occasionally.

Once the hazelnuts have reached a smooth butter consistency, add the sweetener, vanilla extract, salt and cocoa powder. Keep blending for a few seconds until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a creamy mixture.
Once the sugar free Nutella has reached your desired consistency, transfer it to a jar or airtight container.

Notes

Adjust consistency: If the Nutella is too thick or if your food processor didn’t fully blend the hazelnuts, you can add a small amount of keto-friendly milk, such as almond milk or coconut milk, to achieve a smoother consistency. Add the milk gradually, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired texture.
I recommend using 1 cup of milk max for a creamier and smoother consistency.
Storage: Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
