A delicious spread from the great French pastry chef Christophe Adam |
 | The Spreads and the Nutella, the good and the badNutella has always been one of my favorites for an afternoon snack, but after looking at the nutrition facts I decided to make my own... |
 | Christophe Adam is a great pastry chef and a star in France. He's best known for his eclairs but he also sells Spreads. This is one of his recipes |
Ingredients
 | ½ Cup Sugar (120 grams)1 Cup Hazelnuts (180 grams). Whole⅓ Cup Milk Powder (40 grams)2 Tablespoons Butter (27 grams) 1 oz Dark Chocolate (40 grams)½ teaspoon Salt (3 grams)1 Cup Gianduja (300 grams)3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder (20 grams) Additional (for adjustment) 3 oz Dark Chocolate (80 grams). Valrhona "Coeur de Guanaja" |
Steps
Hazelnut PralinéStart by making a caramel with theSugar (½ Cup or 120 g) |
 |
until it becomes amber |
 |
Add in the Hazelnuts (1 Cup or 180 g) into the caramel |
 |
Transfer onto a silicon mat |
 |
GrindingOnce the caramel has cooled down and solidified, grind it in a powerful blender |
 |
Then add into the blender: - the Milk Powder (⅓ Cup or 40 g),- the Butter (2 Tablespoons or 27 g),- the Dark Chocolate ( 1 oz or 40 g),- the Salt (½ teaspoon or 3 g),- the Gianduja (1 Cup or 300 g), (see the recipe HERE),- the Cocoa Powder (3 Tablespoons or 20 g) |
 |
 | Grind finely for about 5 minutes |
 | Adjusting...I have to add 3 oz or 80 g of meltedDark Chocolate to reach to right consistency, but the quantity will depend on the consistency you want to reach. |
 | Be aware that the mix will always look liquid after grinding it and will harden in the fridge |
Preservation I keep the paste in the fridge, and then let it warm up 15 minutes minimum at room temperature before using it |
 |
 | after 15 minutes it can be spread on a french baguette ! |
