Chocolate nut paste or Nutella at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make chocolate nut paste? Prepare the ingredients. Choose the amount of sugar and nuts in the recipe to your taste. If you like a sweeter pasta, just increase the amount of sugar. You can also increase or decrease the amount of hazelnuts. By the way, if there are no hazelnuts at hand, you can take any other nuts.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a saucepan with a thick bottom, mix milk powder, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Pour in small portions of milk, stirring thoroughly so that there are no lumps. Put the pan on the fire and, stirring, bring its contents to a boil.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the mixture is heating up, chop the hazelnuts in any way convenient for you, as small as possible. I pre-fried the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan until golden brown, and then crushed them. You can do this with a blender, meat grinder, grater, mortar, rolling pin. It is best to grind in a coffee grinder, but for this you need to fry the nuts.

4. Step 4:

   

   Remove the pan with the milk mixture from the stove. And add chopped hazelnuts to it.

6. Step 5:

   

   Add butter pieces as well. And stir the whole mass with a whisk so that the oil dissolves and the mixture becomes homogeneous.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the pan back on the fire and, stirring, bring to a boil (the fire should be minimal, the mixture should boil only slightly). Cook after boiling for another 5 minutes. The mixture should slightly thicken, resembling condensed milk in consistency.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the chocolate-nut paste into a suitable container and let it cool completely. Serve homemade Nutella on a slice of fried bread, or with what you prefer :) Enjoy your meal!
