Can I make this without adding the espresso?

If you don't think your family will like the espresso, divide the Nutella and stir half the espresso powder into only half of the Nutella.

Can you buy peeled hazelnuts?

I buy peeled hazelnuts online from Sam's club. They cost just under $10 for 737 grams!

How do you peel hazelnuts

To remove the hazelnut skins, imply roast them in the oven at 300 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly or until they can be handled. Take a clean dish towel and rub the nuts gently until the skin peels off.

Can I use a different keto sweetener?

Feel free to replace the allulose with a powdered sweetener such as Swerve Confectioner.

How can I make this Keto Nutella Recipe thicker?

You can add more palm shortening to thicken the Nutella. To thin the keto Nutella, simply add a little melted coconut oil.

Can I decrease the calories by adding almond milk?

Yes...and no. If you want to add some almond milk, only do so after you have removed the homemade keto espresso Nutella using a spoon. IF you process almond milk at a high speed with the other ingredients, the Nutella will clump together in a large bowl.

Can I add liquid keto sweeteners, such as Tapioca Fiber syrup?

Once again, you can gently stir in tapioca fiber syrup but do not add it to the ingredients at high speed. The mixture will separate.

Is this considered a Fat Fast recipe?

Yes! This recipe is 90% fat and can therefore fit into a fat fast.

Homemade Keto Espresso Nutella Recipe- Sugar-free

Ingredients

Units Scale

400 g Hazelnuts, skin removed
1/4 cup palm shortening
1/2 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
1/4-1/2 cup allulose, or other sweetener of choice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp espresso (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add the nuts to a large saucepan and roast at medium speed until they begin to turn golden brown. Remove immediately from heat (nuts can burn quickly!)
Add the nuts to a food processor and process until a smooth consistency.
Add in all other ingredients and continue to process until thoroughly combined.
Store at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

If you don't think your family will like the espresso, divide the Nutella and stir half the espresso powder into only half of the Nutella.
I was able to buy Hazelnuts that had already had the skin removed. I got mine at Trader Joe's but if you buy the ones with the outer skin still on, simply roast them in the oven at 300 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly or until they can be handled. Take a clean dish towel and rub the nuts gently until the skin peels off.
Feel free to replace the allulose with a different keto sweetener. Adjust the quantity to suit your tastes.
If you use an erythritol-based sweetener and store this recipe in the fridge, it will have a slight granular texture.
