No, Nutella contains skimmed milk powder and whey powder, which means it is not vegan. This homemade version can be adjusted to vegan by using vegan sugar and not white sugar.

How long does homemade Nutella last?

Homemade Nutella should be stored in an airtight container and will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but will probably last longer if you make it with just the oil and not the plant milk.

Ingredients

2 cups of hazelnuts (go for the already peeled ones if possible!)
1/4 cup of cocoa powder (the darker is better, in my opinion)
1/3 cup of sugar (use a vegan sugar if you want a vegan version)
2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of oil (macadamia oil works well!)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt (depending on your taste)
A dash or two of almond milk (to thin it to the consistency you want)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Step 1: Roast 2 cups of hazelnuts for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. Or, buy pre-roasted and peeled hazelnuts to save time and effort!

Step 2. Remove the toasted hazelnuts from the oven and peel the skins. You can do this by rubbing them with a clean tea towel and transferring them to a bowl. Don’t stress if you cannot get all the skins off. Honestly, that part took forever, so I recommend the pre-roasted and peeled option!

Step 3: Transfer them to a high-speed blender and blend until they form a smooth butter

Step 4: Blend in 1-minute intervals, scraping the sides after each minute

Step 5: Once the hazelnuts have made a paste, add 2 tablespoons of oil, sugar, cacao powder, salt, and vanilla.

Step 6: As that mixes, add nut milk to get the spread to the consistency you want.

Step 7: Once thoroughly mixed, transfer it to an airtight container and store it for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator!

Notes

You can extend the life of your spread if you use only oil instead of plant-based milk for consistency. Plant-based milk will also make your spread taste a bit creamier and lessen the intensity of the chocolate.
Do yourself a favor and buy pre-peeled hazelnuts. I know I’ve mentioned it too many times, but it’s WORTH IT.
If you cannot find whole hazelnuts, you can use hazelnut butter or spread to make Nutella; simply add in the extra ingredients and mix well.
