This homemade nutella with dates is rich, decadent, and full of that irresistible chocolate flavor we all know and love! It's made with just 5 simple ingredients and is vegan and refined sugar free!
Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften, then drain.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast hazelnuts for 10 minutes.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Use a kitchen towel to rub the hazelnuts, removing the hazelnut skins.
Place the hazelnuts in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the dates, cacao powder, vanilla, and salt to the blender. Blend until everything is combined. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired texture.
Enjoy your homemade Nutella right away or transfer it to jars. Seal and store in the fridge!
