Homemade Gluten Free Hazelnut Praline

Yields1 Serving

Homemade hazelnut praline and you think it is something very difficult and time-consuming... You are being deceived! It's super easy!

 150 g hazelnuts
 100 g chocolate couverture
 150 g butter
 1 can sweetened concentrated milk
 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
 2 tbsp icing sugar
 ½ tsp vanilla extract
 ¼ tsp salt
1

Put a pan in a medium to high heat and roast the raw hazelnuts for 3-4 minutes, stirring them constantly. Thus, we bring out their aroma and the oils of the nuts are activated. Alternatively, roast them in the oven at 160°C/325°F for about 6 minutes.

2

Put them in a grinder until they become powder. I preferred them not to grinder so much, to make them as a powder, because I like my hazelnut praline to be crunchy.

3

In a bain-marie (No special utensil is needed, just place a metal or fireproof bowl over a pot of boiling water.) melt the chocolate couverture. If you shredded first it will melt easier.

4

Add the ingredients one by one to the melted chocolate, constantly mixing well to incorporate the ingredients.

5

First the butter, which you wait for it to melt, then the cocoa powder, the icing sugar, the salt, the vanilla extract and last the sweetened concentrated milk. Mix them very well.

6

Finally, add the ground hazelnuts, mix very well to integrate very well with the chocolate mixture.

7

Let it cool down a little and storage it in glass jars.

You can keep it out of the fridge for a few days.
