Homemade Nutella

(slightly adapted from The Kitchn)

makes: 6 ounces

• 1 cup of hazelnuts, peeled and toasted
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (high quality cocoa powder is key! I used Valrhona)
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 4 tbsp coconut oil

Place hazelnuts in the food processor and blend continuously until a smooth butter forms (around 3 minutes). Add the rest of the ingredients and continue blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
