Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
Hazelnuts - we opt for hazelnuts with their skin on them as they are cheaper and more readily available. I've included notes in the recipe on how to easily skin them yourself.
Cocoa powder - use good-quality cocoa powder. Either Dutch-processed for a deep, smooth flavour or unsweetened cocoa powder if that’s what you have available.
Icing sugar - use store-bought, or you could make your own icing sugar in the Thermomix.
Vegetable oil - use either sunflower or canola.
Vanilla extract - use vanilla extract or pure vanilla bean paste.
Step by Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
1. Spread the hazelnuts out on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 8 minutes, turning halfway through.
2. Transfer them to a large container that has a lid.
3. Place the lid on and vigorously shake the container to release the skins. A few skins left on are ok.
4. Carefully transfer the hazelnuts to the Thermomix bowl, being careful not to transport too much of the loose skins (as they are bitter).
5. Pulverise the hazelnuts for 15 seconds.
6. Blend for 3 minutes on speed 4. Scrape down the bowl, then blend again for 2 minutes until runny. Blending on a lower speed prevents the hazelnuts from being splatted all over the bowl.
7. Add the remaining ingredients and a pinch of salt.
8. Blend for 2 minutes on speed 4. Give the bowl a good scrape, then blend again for 2 minutes. It's now ready to pour into a jar and store.

I have a large bag of hazelnut flour. I know that I probably can't toast it, but what would you say about using it for this, starting at step 4 or 5?

Hi David, yes, I would assume that you should be able to start the recipe from step 4. Let me know how it goes. Kind regards, Vicki.
