If you haven’t tried Hazelnut Butter yet, now’s the time to give it a go! One striking similarity people often notice about Hazelnut Butter is its resemblance to the much-loved Nutella. That’s correct! Roasted Hazelnut butter, along with cacao, plays a starring role in one of the most popular sweet spreads since the 1940s!
Tips: To simplify the process, consider purchasing hazelnuts without their skins. If these aren’t available, you can remove the skins yourself after roasting. Wrap the hazelnuts in a towel and let them steam for 2-3 minutes. This steaming process will help loosen the skins. While the hazelnuts are still warm, vigorously rub them in the towel to peel off the skins. You may need to repeat this process several times to remove as much skin as possible.
