Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
Step 2
Place hazelnuts on a baking tray, roast for 8 minutes or until golden. Transfer into blender.
Step 3
Blend on the lowest speed until the nuts are ground into a crumb. Scrape down the sides as necessary. Then increase the speed to 4 until it turns into a paste. You may need to scrape down the sides - in my Vitamix blender, I did not have to. Then increase the speed as high as it will go and whizz until it becomes smooth with a consistency like honey.
Step 4
Add remaining ingredients, then whizz, starting on low and increasing to high. Whizz until smooth - the sugar takes the longest to dissolve (Note 3).
Step 5
Pour into a jar - it will be lovely and warm. Allow to cool to spread consistency. Do not refrigerate as the sugar will crystallise and it will become grainy.
Step 6
Use as you do Nutella! Especially fabulous with Nutella Crepes!
Step 7
