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.

Wow this sounds good! I too am an almond milk person. There is something almost addictive about it…
Awesome idea! Love love love it!
I love homemade almond milk! Lately though, since I figured out how to make it, I’ve been all about sunflower seed milk. Sunflower seeds are a lot cheaper than almonds!
have the hazelnuts soaking now. Soak soak soak!!! 🙂
Hi Katie! Awesome drink!!! You’re awesome! We were in Japan for a few hours a few days ago, on our way to Thailand, and I thought of you! Also, I’ve been using chop sticks a lot, and that also made me think of you! Hope all is well! We’re having a ball in Koh Samui!
Oh wow, I hope you love it! Thailand is one of my favorite places in the world. What part are you visiting?
Here are some bathing options for you: 😉

I thought of the Philosophy brand right away because they have such yummy scents…but currently no hazelnut.
Just in case you didn’t know!
Oh dear… this could be dangerous ;).
Hi Katie. I just wanted to let you know that I am pinning so many of your recipes that I have now just named a whole board Choc Covered Katie! Thanks for your many great ideas!
Ok, this just made my day :).
I have another bath suggestion; I love this company, since they’re truly natural, don’t test on animals, and are almost completely vegan: http://www.100percentpure.com/COCOA-KONA-HYDRATING-BODY-WASH-s/451.htm
It may not be Nutella, but it’s chocolatey and hazelnutty and smells delicious. In the meantime, I’ll have to try your recipe–I love using bananas to sweeten and thicken “milk”!
Chocolate AND it’s vegan?! I’m defiitely going to have to look out for that.
But I might want to eat it ;).
Where do you get your hazelnuts? The stores around here don’t carry them.
I can find them in the bulk section at Whole Foods, but oddly enough my regular grocery store (Kroger) sells them packaged in the aisle with the other raw nuts and baking ingredients.
i don’t actually drink milk, i just use it for recipes, smoothies and occasionally to eat with a bowl of cereal. but mostly i get silk or almond breeze almond or coconut milk, and i really like the middle ground – almond breeze’s half almond/half coconut milk! i do notice my smoothies seem sweeter when i use coconut milk.
