Homemade Nutella with Espresso

We hope you’re ready for a recipe that’s going to rock your world, because that’s what we’ve got for you! If you love chocolate and nuts, then you’re probably already familiar with Nutella. While the store-bought spread is great, we thought maybe you could use a homemade recipe — with a twist!

This recipe is so good, you’ll never go back to store-bought. We add coffee to our nutella, and the simplicity of the ingredients adds to their delicious taste.

Why we love homemade nutella

Listen, we can’t get enough of this homemade nutella. It has all the deliciousness of the store-bought kind, with the added bonus of no preservatives and knowing where all the ingredients are coming from! 

Nutella is a chocolate and hazelnut spread that is made by Ferrero, an Italian chocolatier. It’s perfect for toast, crepes, and even dessert pizza! If you want to really mix things up, you can add it to waffles or pancakes for a deliciously sweet breakfast. 

Why we added espresso to this homemade nutella

For one, why not? It adds a little kick of caffeine and it tastes great! We love how the flavor of the espresso and it dilutes a bit of the  sweetness, and we think the flavors are absolutely incredible together. 

We hope you love this homemade Nutella with a caffeinated boost, if you do not want the caffeine don’t worry! Decaf works great or you can omit all together.  

How to make homemade nutella

1. Pulse the roasted hazelnuts in the food processor for 3-4 minutes to make hazelnut butter, it may take longer. You want it to be smooth and and creamy.
2. Add powdered sugar, espresso, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder,  pinch of salt and blend together.
3. Melt your chocolate and add it in with a little bit of water.
4. Blend ingredients, until nice and smooth. Top over toasted bread or fruit. 

How to store homemade nutella

After you’ve blended all the ingredients together, store them in an airtight jar or other container. You can keep them at room temperature for a couple of weeks, but if you still have some left after two weeks, refrigerate what’s left!
