Ingredients
For the traditional version:
  • 100g of hazelnuts(raw or roasted)
  • 100g of dark vegan chocolate or 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cacao powder
  • 50ml of non-dairy milk(I used hazelnut, but you can also use any other)
  • 1 avocado(~180 – 200 g)
  • 3tablespoons of maple syrup(optional if you use chocolate; necessary if you use unsweetened cacao powder)
For the banana version add:
  • 1 ripe banana
For the passion fruit version add:
  • 2 passion fruits
Instructions
  1. (!) skip this step in case of using already roasted hazelnuts (!) – line a baking tray with parchment paper and put hazelnuts on it. Roast the hazelnuts at 180°C/350°F in a preheated oven for 5 – 10 minutes by shaking the baking tray from time to time. When you see that the hazelnut skin starts to open and come off easily, take them out from the oven and let them cool for some minutes. After cooling remove the hazelnut skin – you can do it with hands or by putting all the nuts in a clean towel and rubbing them against it. Do not worry that some hazelnuts stay with the skin or only partially without;
  2. put the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend them until getting small pieces. Add non-dairy milk and blend until smooth;
  3. add avocado cut in medium-small pieces and blend everything together until you get a smooth and creamy mass;
  4. if you’re using dark chocolate, melt it either in a microwave (use low power to avoid burning the chocolate) or in a water bath (bain marie). Once melted, add it to the creamy mass. If you’re using cacao powder instead, add it directly to the creamy mass;
  5. blend everything together until you get a creamy spread. Once the spread is ready, try it and adjust the sweetness of it, if necessary, by adding maple syrup and blending some seconds more. Et voilà! Your healthy Nutella is ready! If you want to experiment a bit with the flavor, try to add some extras (look below).
Additional action for the banana version:
  1. cut banana in smaller pieces and add it to the spread in a food processor. Blend it all together until there are no more food chunks.
Additional action for the passion fruit version:
  1. remove all the seeds and juice from the passion fruits. Add the juice and seeds to the spread and pulse the food processor a few times. Try not to blend all the seeds completely, you should still be able to bite on them while eating the spread.
