What Is Nutella?

Nutella (a.k.a. gianduja) is a smooth, velvety chocolate hazelnut spread, made from hazelnuts and cocoa powder. It originated in Italy but is now beloved worldwide. This versatile spread can be used on toast, waffles, and pancakes; as a dip for fruit and cookies; or a filling for pastries.

The problem is, store-bought Nutella is loaded with sugar (20 grams per serving, to be exact). That’s why we needed an option for sugar-free Nutella. I first made it years ago using erythritol, but it was gritty and runny. Now I found a solution…

When I tested this keto Nutella recipe with Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend more recently, and added chocolate chips to thicken, it tasted just like the original — so it’s the only sweetener I’ll use for this recipe now! Powdered Besti dissolves easily unlike other sweeteners, so it blends beautifully anytime you need a smooth texture for frostings or sauces — all with a flavor just like real powdered sugar. Plus, it has zero calories and zero net carbs!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain quality ingredients for homemade sugar-free Nutella, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.

• Hazelnuts – You may also find these nuts labeled as filberts on the packaging. Find unsalted, raw hazelnuts for this recipe, or save time by getting blanched hazelnuts, which already have the skins removed.
• Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – Keeps this homemade Nutella sugar free! Most other sugar substitutes (anything containing erythritol, including most brands of monk fruit and stevia) won’t work for this recipe, because erythritol won’t dissolve and creates a gritty texture. Concentrated liquid sweeteners can work for the right texture, but tend to have an aftertaste.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – I like this quality one for the best taste.
• Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips – Although optional, they help thicken and I highly recommend adding them if you don’t want the spread to be runny.
• Vanilla Extract – Use the highest-quality one you can.
• Coconut Oil – The optional addition of this healthy fat helps thicken the keto hazelnut spread (since it’s solid when it cools).
• Sea Salt – Balances the sweetness.

How To Make Sugar-Free Nutella

This section shows how to make the best sugar free Nutella, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.

1. Roast. Arrange the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast until lightly browned and fragrant.
2. Peel. Place the roasted hazelnuts in a bowl with a lid and shake until the skins are removed, or rub inside a folded kitchen towel.

TIP: Save time by purchasing blanched hazelnuts!

You can find blanched hazelnuts here. If you use these, you can skip the 2 steps above and don’t have to roast them or remove any skins.

3. Process. Pulse the hazelnuts in a high-power blender or food processor, and blend until a smooth hazelnut butter forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.

5. Melt. In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate chips (if using).
6. Flavor. Add powdered Besti, cocoa powder, melted chocolate (if using), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

7. Blend. Process until the spread is smooth and glossy.

TIP: Ensure the right consistency by adjusting oil last.

Try blending first without adding any oil, and if it’s still too thick you can try adding a little more oil.

Storage Instructions

• Store: Sugar-free Nutella has a shelf life of about 2 weeks in a tightly sealed mason jar. Storing it in the fridge is okay, too, but the texture will be firmer.
• Freeze: Store keto Nutella in a freezer-safe jar for up to 6 months. Once it’s thawed, give it a good stir to restore its texture.

What To Serve With Sugar-Free Nutella

This recipe works with so many keto desserts, but here are some of my favorite ways to use it:

• Fruit – Dunk it with your favorite keto fruits, such as strawberries.
• Breakfast – Sugar-free hazelnut spread is the perfect topper for a gluten-free English muffin, toast (try low carb bread or quick 90 second bread), some almond flour waffles, coconut yogurt, or banana chocolate chip muffins. You can also use it as a stuffing for keto crepes!
• Desserts – Spread it on almond butter cookies or use as a filling for keto Oreos.
• Snacking – Serve it up on a keto charcuterie board or plate with almond flour crackers. It’s fabulous spread on a slice of almond flour zucchini bread.
• A Spoon – Let’s be honest here. Sometimes you just need that fix!

Instructions

[ See step photos ]

Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Arrange the hazelnuts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, until they are browned and fragrant.

3. Place the hazelnuts into a large container or bowl with a lid. Shake vigorously to remove loose skins. Repeat the process as needed, setting aside hazelnuts that already have their skins removed. Alternatively, rub the hazelnuts inside a folded towel to remove the skins.

4. Place the skinned hazelnuts into a high-power blender or a food processor. Process for 1-3 minutes, scraping the sides as needed, until the nuts begin to release oil and then form a smooth nut butter.

5. Melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave, or in a double boiler on the stovetop.

6. Add Besti Powdered, cocoa powder, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Process for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spread is smooth and glossy.

7. Sugar-free Nutella spread will thicken a little more as it cools. Refrigerate for a thicker, more spreadable consistency.
