Homemade Nutella Recipe

Inspired by a beloved French children's book, this 5-minute Nutella recipe is unbelievably easy and tastes incredible! My French husband even prefers it to the store-bought version! While it has a delightful, naturally gritty texture (achieving perfect smoothness is optional!), the rich hazelnut flavor is undeniable. This recipe yields enough to perfectly fill one classic Bonne Maman jam jar – the perfect portion for sharing (or not!). Prepare to be amazed by how simple and delicious homemade Nutella can be!

How to Make Homemade Nutella

  1. Combine hazelnuts, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a food processor.
  2. Process until a coarse paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed. (For a smoother Nutella, process for a longer time, adding a teaspoon of oil if needed).
  3. Add the milk and process until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  4. Transfer the Nutella to a clean, sterilized Bonne Maman jam jar (or similar jar).
  5. Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
