Ingredients
Nutella ingredients are simple. You might have these supplies on hand already in your pantry.
- Raw Hazelnuts
- Coconut Oil
- Salt
- Vanilla
- Powdered Sugar
- Chocolate Chips
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Instructions
Step One: Add the hazelnuts to the air fryer and roast them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Depending on the air fryer, the cook time can vary slightly.
Step Two: Pour the roasted hazelnuts on a towel and let them cool down a little bit. Then, rub the towel on the nuts to remove the skin. These should easily peel away.
Step Three: Pour the nuts in a blender or food processor. Add in the oil and create a paste by pulsing a few times.
Step Four: Add in the remaining ingredients and then blend until it creates a creamy paste. This won’t take long.
Step Five: Make sure to scrape down the sides to ensure the paste is fully mixed.
Step Six: Pour the Nutella into a jar, and use as you would like.

Notes
Ninja Foodi and Instant Pot Duo Crisp: You can use these as your air fryer as well. Just use the crisping lid and cook according. If you need batch cook the nuts if you don’t have enough room.
Blender – If you don’t own a food processor, use the pulse feature on the blender to cream up the hazelnut spread.
Store – Homemade Nutella doesn’t need to be placed in the refrigerator. Just place it in an airtight container, stir and use like you would any other hazelnut spread. It will only keep 2 weeks but that should be no problem with how delish it is!
