NutellaBU, aka Vegan Nutella Sauce

First make a jar of vegan Nutella.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups hazelnuts (I used raw, but roasted hazelnuts with the skins remove work best.)
  • 2 TBSP dark cocoa powder
  • 2 packets stevia (I prefer the NuNaturals brand)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • pinch Celtic Sea Salt

Directions:

  • Process the hazelnuts in your food processor, continually scraping down the sides until you start to achieve a nut butter consistency.
  • Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth and creamy.

Enjoy as a spread or blend with 1 cup of your favorite non-dairy milk for more of a Nutella sauce.

Oh this looks heavenly!

Mind you the pickiest Preteen in the world, whom I have cut out Nutella cold turkey for, will still find a way to turn her nose up at this.

Kate, Not sure – I think it probably has about 1/2 the calories per serving of regular nut butter since it’s diluted. So, I would say about 100 calories per 2 TBSP? Hope this helps and thanks for enjoying my recipes! :)
