While eating Nutella, I read the ingredients at the label then I became curious and tried making it. Here is the result of my curiosity.
Ingredients:
1 cup hazelnuts (toasted)
1/2 cup sweetened cocoa powder
1 cup skim milk powder
30 ml vegetable oil
120 ml fresh milk
pinch of salt
Procedure:
1. Put the hazelnuts in a blender then blend until it is powder, add all the ingredients and continue blending until you reached the consistency of a good spread texture, just like Nutella.
2. Now get a bread and taste the nutella that you make :-).
Frankly speaking I have a hard time making this it took me almost and hour, it's difficult because it stuck in the blade of the blender that's why I need to mix it a lot of time with a spoon. After making this I shouted whew!! I will just buy Nutella next time I will not do this again, it's not worth it then I grabbed a slice of bread and put some of the homemade nutella and it put a smile on my face :-). It tastes so good but still, the original Nutella is the best.
