Liquid Nutella.
Who wouldn’t want to drink a thick glass of Nutella?
Drink it, eat it, bathe in it… okay, maybe not the last one. Then again, perhaps a Nutella bath could be fun. I wonder if they sell such a thing as Nutella bubble bath. They should. I’d buy it.
In bulk.
Chocolate Nutella Milk
- 1/2 cup roasted or raw hazelnuts (Other nuts will work too.)
- 2 tsp cocoa or cacao powder
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 1/4 plus 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup water or milk of choice, or more if a thinner drink is desired. This also gets much thicker as it sits in the fridge
- sweetener–such as stevia, sugar, maple syrup, or even a banana–to taste
Optional: roast hazelnuts 6-8 minutes at 400F. In a bowl, soak the nuts in water for at least 8 hours (or overnight), then drain. I didn’t bother to skin, but you can if desired. Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender (like a Vita-Mix), and blend thoroughly until super-smooth. If you have cheesecloth, I highly recommend pouring the milk through a sieve lined with cheesecloth. But if you don’t mind a gritty-textured drink, you can skip this step. Before serving, it’s best to fridge until chilled, as it will be hot from blending. This will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to 4 days.

The new BlueDiamond almond coconut is so yummy! Definitely worth trying! It has such an amazing flavor!
This is so simple and delectable-looking! I can’t eat Nutella (even homemade) because of the sugar content, but this is an amazing alternative for the hot summer weather. Keep ’em coming please!
This is a new way of providing drinks for children. My kids do love this chocolate nutella milk.
I like unsweetened almond milk but i only use it in recipes and smoothie, but i discover that natura make it too and it taste realy better than blue diamond, like very much, i can drink a glass of it i love it!! sometimes i buy soy milk and oat milk for making hot chocolate because its more creamier like milk.
My favorite is hemp milk, but due to the price, I usually go for almond. Hazelnut milk is also great (its sold in stores near me.)
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a shop selling sunflower milk.
We usually buy unsweetened organic rice milk in bulk at costco cuz it’s cheaper but I can’t drink it straight. Usually just use it in cereal and cooking. My fav to drink straight is almond milk for sure! Tastes just like skim cows milk!
Loved it.
My boyfriend (used to Nesquik) was not so found of it though…
long way to go! 😉
Hi Katie,
I’m a long time reader but I rarely comment (too shy) but wanted to share another chocolate bath recommendation with you.
http://www.lushusa.com/Ma-Bar/02151,en_US,pd.html?start=19&cgid=bubble-bars
Not everything at Lush is Vegan (it is all vegetarian and none of their products or ingredients are tested on animals) but most things are; anything with a little V is vegan. They look a bit pricey but the bubble bar I have linked to you would only need to use half of it for a full bath.
I love all your recipes. Over here in the UK we are stuck with Alpro Soy milk, unless we want to pay £5 for a carton of nut milks. I’m hoping they become more popular and the prices come down a bit. Even though I’m not vegan anymore I still don’t like to use dairy.
Thank you! I am definitely going to have to check out Lush. I’ve heard they have a mint-chocolate mask as well!
They do. It smells amazing. Tastes like mint choc mud though. It’s great for your skin though. Feels amazing afterwards. xx
I’m afraid I might want to eat it!
You’d only taste it once…….I’ve done it. lol. It’s not good. x
A few clarifying questions on the directions here. I’m a bit lost on technicalities of cooking so…
Your ingredients list “1 cup water or milk of choice (or more if a thinner drink is desired. This also gets much thicker as it sits in the fridge.)” Is this the water/milk you use to soak the hazelnuts?
After you soak the hazelnuts, you say to drain them. What do you do with the drained liquid? Does it go into the blender with the remaining ingredients?
Do the soaked hazelnuts get thrown in to the blender too?
Thanks so much for all the recipes you share. You’ve really brought alot of flavor and inspiration to my life & meals. Love the gluten free, sugar free (Stevia fan here). I drool over 99.9% of your recipes they sound soooo yummy! Now to find the time to test drive them lol….I’m taking baby steps.
Made your “Peppermint Bark” (coconut oil & peppermint) just today. I’ve been making my own coconut oil “nibblers” out of coconut oil, cocoa powder, Stevia. Sometimes I add shredded coconut, sometimes chopped nuts. LOVE coconut oil. I played with the recipe a bit too. Discovered “Almond Nibblers”: coconut oil, almond extract (Frontier’s brand), sliced almonds and Stevia. OMG they are amazing! I use an ice tray to freeze them too! Perfect size.
Please keep the great recipes coming. Totally in love with your blog….only one I read on a regular basis.
Nope, drain that water and pour it down the drain.
And yes, blend the nuts :).
Thank you sooo much for the added clarification! 🙂
Just made some and it. was. divine! Thanks again for a yummy recipe.
Oh my gosh, nutella we can drink!! i am so excited to try this.
Myself and my sister are totoally addicted to silk coconut milk. we go through 2 huge containers of it everyweek.
Could you maybe convert the amount of hazelnuts to hazelnut paste? Because I usually use that instead of blending them myself as it is quite a hassle.
I’m planning on trying this with walnuts/pecans/sunflower seeds because that’s what I’ve got! I’ll let you know how it turns out.
I wonder if I could use raw cacao nibs for the cocoa powder! I think I’ll try that.
How long did you have to blend with the Vitamix? On high speed, right?
My second of your recipes I try. I made the Nutella and then blended it with ice and a mix of coconut and soy milk. It is heaven! I did not add any sweeteners to the milkshake because I wanted something more refreshing. My son loved the nutella so now I am happy to give it to him, I am never happy giving him the commercial one, so full of hydrogenated stuff. Thanks so much for your recipes!!!
