Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Vegan Nutella!)

Print Recipe
Servings 1 jar
Author Let’s Eat Smart

Ingredients

  • 100 ml plant milk I used pea milk but any will work
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 4 tsp coconut oil
  • 140 g hazelnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C | Gas mark 4. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes. This will warm the natural oils and loosen the skins.
  • Once golden, remove from oven and let them cool slightly. Using your hands, roll the hazelnuts around and to remove most of the skins (they are very bitter so remove as many as you can).
  • Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and blend until a butter is formed. If your food processor hasn't got enough power, you may have to scrape down sides, blend and repeat a few times.
  • Heat the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments. Once melted, add the coconut oil and stir until melted.
  • Once the hazelnut mixture is starting to look smooth, add the milk and blend for around 30 seconds. Slowly add in the melted chocolate, 2 tablespoons at a time, blending in between.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Transfer to a jar and store at room temperature.

Stirr Ups Bar and Restaurant… what an absolute g Stirr Ups Bar and Restaurant… what an absolute gem! I recently visited (gifted) and was blown away by the quality and variety of their vegan offerings.  What impressed me the most was the fact that the burger patties were made in-house, and they were full of flavour. They weren't a faux meat substitute but instead a delicious, tasty bean/cauliflower patty. My personal fav was the Caulifornication, which featured double smashed roasted cauliflower and cumin spiced chickpea patties served with roasted cauliflower hummus, grilled romano peppers, pickled red cabbage, and vegan cheese slices. The vegan machine, featuring double smashed blackbean and jack fruit patty was also amazing.  The cauliflower bites were another fav - crispy pieces of cauliflower tossed in Tubby Toms Buffalo sauce. The food was SO GOOD, my non-vegan partner enjoyed them so much he would happily order them again.  The cocktails looked fancy, were a good price, and tasted really good.  The staff were incredibly friendly and the restaurant was clean. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. We finished off our meal with a delicious Oreo cheesecake and a couple of oat milk cappuccinos.  Overall, @stirr_ups_bar is an incredible vegan street food place that offers high-quality food, tasty cocktails, and great service. If you're a foodie who loves vegan food, you absolutely HAVE to check them out!  What we ordered:
🍔 The vegan machine (Double smashed blackbean and jack fruit patty served with chorizo, cheese slice and baconnaise)
🍔 Caulifornication (Double smashed roasted cauliflower and cumin spiced chickpea patties served with roasted cauliflower hummus, grilled romano peppers, pickled red cabbage and cheese slices)
🥗 Superfood salad (Roasted purple sprouting, roasted sweet potato, quinoa, spinach, red kidney beans, roasted pumpkin seeds, kale, toasted almonds, tossed in our house dressing)
🧆 Battered cauliflower (Crispy pieces of cauliflower, deep fried in a spiced batter and tossed in Tubby Toms Buffalo sauce)
🍹 Bonbon (Vodka, Chambord, Pineapple, Candy Floss)
🍸 Hurricane (Orange and Pineapple with Passionfruit Purée, Lime & Grenadine)
🍰 Oreo cheesecake
☕️ Oat milk cappuccinos
