Everyone has tasted nut-chocolate paste with the most delicate taste. And those who have not yet done so should certainly taste this sweet product.
Classic nutella
The classic nutella recipe contains cocoa powder. Its role is dominant here, as it gives the paste a wonderful rich flavoring shade of milk chocolate. And the natural thickeners here are flour, sugar and butter. Adding nuts will multiply the calorie content of the product and give it a quite high gastronomic status.
Peanuts familiar to everyone can be safely replaced with any other variety of nuts. But it will no longer be a classic, but a magnificent avant-garde.
It only takes about half an hour to cook nutella at home.
The following products are procured in advance:
- cocoa - 6 tbsp. l.;
- milk - 4 glasses;
- nuts - 4 cups;
- sugar - 4 glasses;
- wheat flour - 4 tbsp. l.;

In order to end up with nutella really tasty, you need to take the fresh and fairly high quality products included in its composition. It is imperative to ensure that the nut is well dried or roasted and not rancid. And dairy products are better suited with a high percentage of fat. It is advisable if these are dairy products from a private farm. The quality of the cocoa is of particular importance. The famous pasta will have a completely different taste, better quality and richer, if you grind and use exactly cocoa beans, and not a ready-made instant analogue from a store. Those who cooked nutella at home and used natural cocoa, not instant powder, note that the difference in tastes is huge.

Throughout this time, the contents of the container must be mixed. The next step is to chop the nuts. This can be done in a blender or, if not available, in a regular mortar. Chopped nuts should be poured into a boiled mixture, and then put butter in it and salt.
Stirring continuously, cook this composition for 15-20 minutes. After the contents have thickened, you need to remove the container from the heat. When the food has cooled down, transfer it to a container with a screw lid. Next, you need to put the ready-made sweet mixture in the refrigerator. The output of nutella will be 400 grams.
