Sugar-free homemade “Nutella”

 

I have prepared this recipe for sugar-free homemade “Nutella” thinking of my daughter and many children who, like her, love cocoa cream and end up succumbing to commercial products that turn out to be unhealthy but very addictive.

I have to confess that replacing these types of highly processed industrial products is difficult, especially when the palate has already become accustomed to them; doing the reverse process requires perseverance and willpower.

When it comes to convincing children, it is necessary to seduce them in some way, making the product we are offering them attractive. It seems crazy to want to compete with the fierce marketing that large food companies carry out to attract children and their parents, but we have an obligation to try.

 

Preparing homemade “Nutella” is a good way to control the ingredients and save money. It is also suitable for people with diabetes

 

A simple way to address this issue is to prepare simple preparations at home that children will like in order to replace all those industrial products and in this way educate their palates from an early age. The objective is to take control of the ingredients and know what is being consumed.

Another way to achieve this is to avoid buying everything that we know is not suitable. If you don’t have it in the pantry, it is certain that they will not consume it, that is obvious, and you will also save a lot of money, I assure you.

 

 

Sometimes we cannot dedicate the little time we have left after work to cook or we simply do not feel like it and it is much more convenient to include in the weekly shopping sweet treats for our children’s lunches and snacks.

But… How about trying to make them yourself?

Good things always cost and it takes willpower to want to do things well, then satisfaction is guaranteed.

 

There are no excuses, the key is to plan and organize. Prepare homemade Nutella on the weekend and store it in the refrigerator.

 

The two fundamental concepts to get through this situation are planning and organization.

If your intention is to eat well you need to put them into practice every day, if not, you won’t achieve it, sometimes we can be indulgent, but let’s do it as little as possible.

Take advantage of your days off to think about weekly menus, the snacks you’re going to need and cook everything that can be stored in advance, this way the day to day will be much more bearable and you won’t end up eating anything without thinking.

This sugar-free homemade “Nutella” lasts in the refrigerator for 8 days although, honestly, I don’t think it will last that long.

Prepare it on the weekend and store it in glass jars, this way you have one more option for lunches and snacks.

 

You can use this homemade cocoa cream as an ingredient in your cakes, sponge cakes and muffins.

 

It can also be used to prepare muffins, cakes or cookies, don’t miss the flourless muffins with my sugar-free homemade “Nutella”, you’ll love them!

Spread it on the bread you like the most or prepare a microwave almond sponge cake and accompany it with it, the combination is delicious.

Another great way to enjoy it is to dip it with fruit, a Golden apple will be great for it.

 

 

The recipe is very simple and you need few ingredients:

• hazelnuts
• pure cocoa
• vegetable milk (can also be cow’s milk)
• coconut oil (butter is also fine)
• coconut sugar or any sweetener
• vanilla essence
• a pinch of salt

Blend everything very well and that’s it.

When it’s refrigerated it acquires more consistency, if you consume it at room temperature it will be creamier.
