Homemade Nutella-style chocolate spread
A wonderful topping for your morning toast — sweet and delicious! This chocolate spread comes out very tasty and silky. It isn't all that much like real Nutella — it's closer to chocolate pudding or a chocolate custard. But everyone's taste is different, and the spread turned out so good — make it and enjoy!
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
The ingredients (I add more sugar, since almost everyone in my family has a sweet tooth).
-
Step 2:
In a saucepan, mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Keep in mind that the flour and cocoa are measured as heaping spoonfuls. You can use more flour if you want a thicker spread, but I'd advise experimenting carefully, adding it gradually in small amounts. You can make a small trial batch and adjust the thickness — that is, the amount of flour — to your taste next time.
-
Step 3:
Pour in the milk a little at a time, stirring constantly. Set the mixture over the heat and bring it to a boil, stirring.
-
Step 4:
Chop the hazelnuts as finely as you can.
-
Step 5:
As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, add the butter and the chopped nuts.
-
Step 6:
Stir thoroughly, bring back to a boil, and cook for another 2–3 minutes — the mixture should thicken nicely. The cooking time is approximate; it may take a little more or less, so go by the consistency.
-
Step 7:
Pour it into a suitable container and let it cool. Serve the spread with morning toast or pancakes. Enjoy!
- You can use this spread for more than just toast — it also works for filling cake layers or serving alongside crêpes or pancakes. There are plenty of options.
