How to make DIY Homemade Nutella | 10 Nutella Recipes
In this article we will discuss how to make DIY homemade Nutella! So, let's get started! homemade Nutella is easy to make and you can do it in one pot, how cool is that? First of all take the saucepan, no heat just yet. We get some hazelnut meal and some shelled hazelnut. Put them in a food processor and mix them until they were like breadcrumbs.
Next step is to put some dry milk powder into the mix. Along with some brown sugar, cocoa powder, and some corn flour. This will help to thicken up the mixture. Now we're just going to give this a good mix and get everything combined. Grab some milk and add that into the mix, along with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Put this on a low to medium heat and whisk it all together. Keep mixing this for around 4-5 minutes, until the mixture stars to thicken. After a while you will start to see a beautiful, shiny chocolate mixture. Take it off the boil and leave it in room temperature to cool off.
TOP 10 BEST NUTELLA RECIPES
Here we will find the 10 best easy Nutella recipes in 10 minutes. So let's get straight into the recipes.
#1: Nutella Lava Cake
First we have 2 ingredient Nutella lava cake and for this you will need Nutella and two eggs separated. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and then in a separate bowl whisk together the Nutella and the egg yolks. Now that mixture will be very thick so just warm it slightly in the microwave to make it a bit thinner. Then mix through one third of the egg whites to lighten it.
Add the rest and then fold it through until you can't see any more streaks of white. Take a bowl and brush the sides of it with melted butter, then add some sugar and swirl it around the bowl and tip it out. This just helps to stop it sticking. Wrap some baking paper around the outside of the bowl to stop it flowing over when we bake it and then tie it firmly into place.
Pour the mixture right up to the top of the bowl and then bake that in a hot oven until they are risen. Remove the baking paper, add a scoop of icecream and some icing sugar on top and then scoop down to get that hot Nutella lava.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup or 145g (5.11 ounces) Nutella
- Preheat the oven to 200C (392 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Separate the eggs. Combine the yolks and the Nutella. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks
- Add 1/3 of the whites to the nutella mixture and mix through well. Fold in the rest
- Place into individual dishes wrapped in baking paper and bake in the oven for 15 minutes
#2: Nutella Mousse
Next at number 2 we have 2 ingredient Nutella mousse and for this you'll need Nutella and cream, this one is super easy. Add half of the cream and then mix that together with the Nutella and then add the remaining cream and whisk that on high speed until it thickens. Now you are essentially whipping the cream here so you don't want to over-whip it you're going to end up with a grainy mixture so just whip it until it's thick and you can see the sort of pattern of the beaters on it. Then pour that into serving bowls and refrigerate it for about 4 hours before serving.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups or 500millilitres (16.91 fluid ounces) of cream
- 1 cup or 290g (10.23 ounces) nutella
#3: Nutella Truffles
Coming in at number 3 we have Nutella truffles, again two ingredients for this one. Take a silicon ice cube tray and fill it with melted chocolate. Tip it over and then shake out the excess. Now make sure you do temper your chocolate or if you don't want to do that you can use compound chocolate instead.
Then smooth out the tops and let that set. Pipe some Nutella into each chocolate and then top it up with more chocolate to seal it and smooth it off. And once that is set you can just turn it over and push them out of the mould. And you can of course use milk or dark chocolate for these instead of white.
Ingredients:
- silicone mold
- 200g (7.05 ounces) white / milk or dark chocolate tempered
- 1/2 cup or 145g (5.11 ounces) nutella to fill truffles, or less depending on the size of your mold
#4: Nutella Star Bread
At number 4 we have Nutella star bread. Take some bread dough that has been risen once, and I'll put the recipe that I'm using on the website. Knock it down and then form it into a ball. Cut that dough into three, then roll each portion into a flat circle. Make and impression with a plate and then spread some warmed Nutella into that circle on the first one.
Add the next layer, some more Nutella and then the top layer. Put the plate back on top and cut around it to make a circle and then use a cup to make a smaller circle in the centre. Cut from there to the edge in 4 places and then cut each of those in half and then cut each of those in half again. Now take one of your pieces and twist it twice. Take the bit next to it and twist it twice in the opposite direction and continue to do that the whole way around the circle.
Take two edges and join them together and continue that with the rest of them. Slide that onto a baking tray and leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes until it's risen and spread out. Then bake it in the oven until it's baked through and warm and golden with Nutella streaks all the way through.
Ingredients:
- Bread Dough
- 1/4 cup or 62ml water warmed to 98F (36.67 degrees Celsius)
- 1/4 cup or 62ml milk (4% fat) warmed to 98F (36.67 degrees Celsius)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup or 73g (2.57 ounces) sugar
- 1/2 cup or 110g (3.88 ounces) butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 3/4 cups or 450g (15.87 ounces) flour
- 3 tsp yeast
To assemble you will need approximately 3 tablespoons or 50g (1.76 ounces) of Nutella.
Bake at around 180C (356 degrees Fahrenheit). When it is cooked through, the bread will sound hollow when tapped on the base.
Alternatively you can swap the bread dough for puff pastry.
If using puff pastry, bake in a slightly hotter oven at around 210c.
#5: Nutella Pastry Star
At number 5 we have Nutella Pastry Star. Cut three circles of puff pastry and spread them with Nutella and stack them just like we did for the bread version. Cut it and twist it in the same way and then take 2 pieces that are next to each other and join them together by pushing down with a fork. Bake that in the oven until it's puffed and crisp.
Ingredients:
Same as nutella star bread above
#6: Nutella Icypoles
At number 6 we have Nutella icypoles and for these you'll need Nutella, cocoa powder, corn flour, milk and vanilla. Put the vanilla, a little bit of the milk, the corn flour and the cocoa into a saucepan and whisk it until there are no lumps. Then add in the rest of the milk and the Nutella.
Heat that over high heat, stirring it continuously until it starts to bubble and then keep stirring it for another minute so that it thickens up nicely. Pour this mixture into icypole moulds and of course you could just use the mousse that we made with the cream and the Nutella for this but these are a little bit healthier with the milk instead of the cream. Then add your 4 sticks and freeze those until they're solid.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup or 97g (3.42 ounces) Nutella
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch or cornflour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups or 375millilitres (12.68 fluid ounces) milk (4% fat)
#7: Nutella Mug
At number 7 we have a Nutella mug cake and for this you'll need milk, Nutella, cocoa powder, egg, sugar, baking powder and plain flour. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl and whisk it to get rid of any lumps. Add in the egg, milk and that Nutella and whisk it until it's just combined. Pour that into two cups so that they're both about half full and microwave it for 70 to 90 seconds depending on the wattage of your microwave. And then sprinkle that with icing sugar and serve it immediately.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons or 50g (1.76 ounces) of Nutella
- 3 tablespoons or 40g (1.41 ounces) of sugar
- 3 tablespoons or 21g (0.74 ounces) of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup or 40g (1.41 ounces) plain or all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup or 62millilitres (2.1 fluid ounces) milk (4% fat)
- 1 egg
#8: Nutella Soft Serve
Number 8 we have 2 ingredient Nutella soft serve. And for this you'll need 4 bananas. Peel your bananas and slice them up into a plastic container and repeat that with all of them. Then put that in the freezer for a few hours. Once it's frozen put the Nutella and the bananas into a food processor and process it until it's thick and smooth. Place it into a piping bag and pipe onto the icecream cones. Now it's the banana here that makes these thick and the Nutella that's making it sweet and creamy.
Ingredients:
- 4 bananas, peeled, sliced and frozen
- 3 tablespoons nutella
- Process the ingredients together until smooth
#9: Nutella Cookies
Number 9 we have yummy, crunchy 4-ingredient cookies. For this you'll need flour, Nutella of course, sugar and an egg. Add all of the ingredients into a bowl and stir them together and you'll end up with a thick, crumbly mixture like this. Place tablespoons of that mixture onto baking paper and then slide that onto a baking tray and bake in the oven until they're crisp.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup or 290g (10.23 ounces) Nutella
- 1 cup or 160g (5.64 ounces) flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup or 108g (3.81 ounces) sugar
- 1 tsp of water if needed (depends on the size of your egg)
- Bake at 180C (356 degrees Fahrenheit). This recipe makes about 14 cookies
#10: Nutella Brownies
At number 10, my favourite, we have 2 ingredient Nutella brownies. And for this you need some warmed Nutella and eggs. Place the eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high speed for about 5 minutes or until they're thick and foamy like this. Mix one third of the eggs with the warmed Nutella and mix them together well, then fold in the remaining eggs, making sure you don't over mix this, we want to keep lots of that air in here. Pour that into a baking tin and bake it for 10 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup or 290g (10.23 ounces) of nutella
- Beat the eggs for 8 minutes. Warm the Nutella and fold through
