Homemade hazelnut Nutella

Ingredients

• 150 g Shelled hazelnuts (Roast in the oven at 180°C for 10 min then remove the skin by rubbing them in a kitchen towel.)

• 1 pinch Salt (Fine salt preferred.)
• 80 g Water (Used to dilute the powdered milk.)
• 20 g Neutral oil (e.g., canola or sunflower oil) (Very little oil to keep the spread creamy without excess fat.)

• 10 g Whole milk powder (Dilute in hot water. If unavailable, replace with 80 g liquid milk.)
