Homemade Nutella Recipe

Looks wonderful....

but, what's nougat? Do you mean, that stuff that's inside chocolate bars?

Where do you find this nougat? It seems to be an important ingredient, as it seems to be about 1/4 the volume of the recipe.....

Ditto on that question....Nougat???

Seeing the ingredients in this, I now understand why Nutella is such an expensive treat.

I was first introduced to Nutella many years ago by a German friend.  Her relatives would send it every year in their Christmas goodie package.  At that time you could not find it here.

I was so happy when I started to see it in the States.  At first it was only available in specialty stores, then wonder or wonders I saw it at Kroger, and now I can get it at Costco!

hello nutella friends,

i posted this recipe as i know we have many nutella addicts on this board - but i had no idea you would have difficulties to find nougat in usa - we can get this in our baking seciotn in germany or covered with abit of chocolate as a chocolate bar...

i will look if  can find a source int he usa for you!

thanks picasso - what we use in germany and ferrero uses in nutella is hazelnut nougat and it is dark colored....

 twinkle, I've never seen pieces of nougat like the picture here in the US. I've only seen imported nougat candy bars from Italy and Germany and they are chocolate coated and have pieces of nuts in them.

Does the nougat you can get have dairy in it?

bumpity for an answer...interesting

The nougat on the site that Picasso posted the link for is $23/lb. I've never tried Nutella. I must be missing something.  

hi chefly

i will check when i am n the supermarket the next time and tell you exactly what is in german nougat.

cheers twinkle

 Thanks twinkle

Love Nutella......we eat it by the spoonful. 

I make my son a Peanut Butter and Nutella sandwich every day....................sometimes I even grill it!

YUM.

hi chefly

there is dairy in our cnventional nougat that we use in germany for baking and candy making.....

but i have foud a german recipe to make your own nougat

NOUGAT

300g powdered sugar

300g hazelnuts (or almonds)

300g chocolate (use your favorit and the better the quality the better the nougat tastes)

roast the nuts in a pan (without oil) and then rub of the skin with a towel. Then ground them really fine.

melt the powdered sugar in a skillet and add the nuts. this will be a crumbely mass. Set aside and let chill and then put into a blender to mix until smooth.

melt the chocolate and then carefully blend with the nutmix and stir till you have a smooth mass.

chill and then use like ready made nougat...
