White Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 3/4 cup
Ingredients:
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 oz | White chocolate |
| 1/2 cup | Heavy cream |
| 1/4 cup | Hazelnuts, ground |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering your ingredients. Place the white chocolate in a small bowl, ready for melting.
-
-
Heat Cream:
- In a small, heavy saucepan over moderate heat, bring the heavy cream to a gentle boil.
-
Melt Chocolate:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot cream over the white chocolate in the bowl. Give the bowl a gentle shake to ensure the chocolate is completely submerged in the cream.
-
Infuse Flavors:
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 1 minute, letting the heat of the cream melt the white chocolate. This helps infuse the flavors together beautifully.
-
Whisk to Smoothness:
- After a minute, take a wire whisk and vigorously beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. This usually takes a couple of minutes of whisking.
-
Add Hazelnuts and Vanilla:
- Once smooth, add in the ground hazelnuts and the vanilla extract. Continue to whisk until everything is well combined, and you have a silky, fragrant mixture.
-
Chill:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the spread for about 1 hour. This allows it to firm up to a perfect spreading consistency.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once chilled, your White Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread is ready to be enjoyed! 🥖🍞🥐 Spread it generously on warm toast, drizzle it over pancakes, or use it as a decadent filling for pastries. The possibilities are endless!
Notes:
- For a delightful variation, consider trying this with cashews instead of hazelnuts! It adds a lovely twist to the flavor profile. Simply substitute the same amount of ground cashews for the hazelnuts in the recipe.
This homemade spread is a true delight, creamy with the richness of white chocolate and the nutty goodness of hazelnuts. Your sister’s discovery has become a cherished recipe in your family, and now you can enjoy it too!
