This is basically Nutella without all the modified palm oil and this and that. Since this detox, weight training phase, I have cut out white sugars, but I am still craving chocolatey desserts. I figured that I would try this because it's the best of both worlds.
First, roast two cups of unsalted hazelnuts on a baking sheet at 350 for about ten minutes.
Second, prep the food processor.
Third, in a small pot, melt one can of sweetened condensed milk and whisk in a cup of good quality cocoa powder for about 5 minutes over low heat. Set aside.
Fourth, when the hazelnuts have cooled, place them in the food processor with a pinch of salt and the insides of a vanilla bean. Pulse until all the nuts have been finely chopped and then process the nuts until smooth (a few drops of water would help).
Fifth, add the condensed milk mix and process until smooth (a good 2-3 minutes).
Spread on your favourite toast or add to protein shakes and enjoy!
