The Secret Ingredient: Elegance Brew's Chocolate Hazelnut
Before we jump into the recipe, let's talk about the magic that is Elegance Brew's Chocolate Hazelnut. This exquisite blend combines a medium-roast coffee with the luxurious sweetness of hazelnut and cocoa. Ideally suited for those moments where you can’t choose between a traditional hazelnut coffee or a mocha, it delivers the best of both worlds.
Crafted from specialty-grade single-origin beans, this coffee is roasted in small batches to a smooth, medium profile. Each order is then enhanced with high-quality flavoring oils and finished with natural flavors, resulting in a symphony of taste in every cup.
Crafting Your Decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
Now that we've set the stage with the perfect coffee companion, let’s get started on our chocolate hazelnut spread recipe. This recipe will elevate your breakfasts, desserts, or even just stand-alone spoonfuls.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of whole hazelnuts
- 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup of brewed Chocolate Hazelnut coffee (optional, for an added coffee punch)
Instructions
- Roast the hazelnuts: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes, until aromatic and lightly golden.
- Remove the skins: Once cooled, rub the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much of the skin as possible.
- Blend the nuts: In a food processor, process the hazelnuts until they form a smooth butter. This may take a few minutes of processing and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring between each interval. Alternatively, melt them in a double boiler on the stove.
- Combine the ingredients: Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. If you're including the brewed coffee for an extra kick, add it now. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer and store: Pour your decadent chocolate hazelnut spread into a sterilized jar and let it cool at room temperature before sealing. Store it in a cool place and enjoy it over the next few weeks.
