Recipe by Grace Parisi Creamy, nutty, and chocolaty, this is what Nutella spread dreams of being.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 c. hazelnuts
  • 7 oz. bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp. boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium ovenproof skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the hazelnuts and cook over moderate heat until just beginning to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the nuts for about 6 minutes, until the skins blister. Transfer the nuts to a kitchen towel and rub off the skins. Let cool.
  2. In a food processor, combine the hazelnuts with both chocolates and process until the nuts are finely chopped and the chocolate just begins to melt, 4 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk with the salt until hot. With the food processor on, add the hot condensed milk and process until incorporated. Add the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter and process until smooth, 2 minutes. Add the boiling water and process until creamy, 2 minutes. Looking for more dessert ideas?
