Homemade Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread
Our Lindt Master Chocolatiers have shared their recipe for a heavenly homemade hazelnut chocolate spread using a beautifully balanced combination of our delicious EXCELLENCE 65% Milk Chocolate and EXCELLENCE 70% Dark Chocolate. Perfect for topping toast, dipping fruit, enjoying with pancakes or indulging in straight from the jar with a spoon…
Chocolatier’s Tip
For added hazelnut flavour, swap the EXCELLENCE 70% Dark for our EXCELLENCE Roasted Hazelnut - it will have a slightly crunchier texture due to the pieces of Piedmont hazelnuts. If making this recipe for someone following a gluten free diet, always check the manufacturer's label to ensure your ingredients are free from gluten.

Method
Step 1.
Put the roasted hazelnuts in a blender and blend until you have a smooth paste, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary (this will take about 5 minutes).
Step 2.
Spoon into a bowl, add the icing sugar and chopped chocolates and set aside.
Step 3.
Pour the cream into a saucepan, add the cocoa powder and vanilla extract, and bring to a simmer, stirring all the time to dissolve the cocoa powder.
Step 4.
Remove from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate-hazelnut mix. Add a pinch of salt and stir until smooth and melted.
Step 5.
Pour into a large jar (or smaller jars), leave to cool completely before sealing. Store in a cool, dry place for up to a week. Enjoy at room temperature.
