Notes
This chocolate hazelnut spread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. To enhance flavor, roast the hazelnuts lightly before blending.
For variations, you can add a pinch of sea salt, a splash of vanilla extract, or even a hint of espresso for a more robust flavor.
If you prefer a sweeter spread, feel free to increase the sugar content. For a dairy-free option, substitute regular milk with almond or coconut milk.
