Home made nutella
Lots of people think the commercial chocolate and hazelnut spreads are essentially made with hazelnuts, milk and cocoa powder - all very appealing to mothers as an apparently healthy choice which most kids love. Actually the biggest ingredient in those spreads is sugar - over half a jar is sugar and just toast-sized serving of nutella contains 200 calories, and the sugar of five oreo cookies!!! This home-made version is dairy-free, the main ingredient is hazelnuts and it has much much less sugar because the natural sweetness of the nuts contribute to the sweetness of the spread.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Lay the nuts out on a baking tray and roast in the oven preheated to 180º for 10 - 15 minutes. The skins will go black and look burnt, but it's ok - the nuts will be brown and the skins will be discarded
* Step 2
Easy trip for peeling hot hazelnuts. Take them out of the oven and empty the tray over a clean kitchen drying up cloth.
* Step 3
Close the cloth and roll vigorously like in the photo
* Step 4
When you open the cloth you'll see that most of the skin has been rubbed off
* Step 5
The roasted hazelnuts should look like this
* Step 6
Put the nuts and the oil into the food processor
* Step 7
Blitz for ten minutes, the nuts will look like this -->
* Step 8
Blitz for another 10 minutes top speed and you will get hazelnut cream (this is delicious as a dairy-free substitute for butter by the way)
* Step 9
Add the cocoa powder and icing sugar and mix
* Step 10
The chocolate spread will be a bit runnier than commercial ones. Pour it into a jar, seal and put the jar in the fridge. After a few hours it will be thicker.
