This Hazelnut Spread from the Vitamix 100th Anniversary Cookbook Tastes Just like Nutella
We just got our hands on the Vitamix 100th Anniversary Cookbook. And this recipe for Hazelnut Spread is the one we were the most excited to make.
Super easy and so, so good.
And even though it’s 100% plant-based, so dairy-free, it tastes just like Nutella. Better, actually.
Go make it!

Hi,
Thank you for all your recipes and tips. I got my Vitamix 750 in October and use it every day. I have already made many of your recipes. I am considering this nutella spread as Christmas gifts. What do you advise for timing? Once made–and stored in the fridge–when should it be eaten? Could I make some now and freeze it, then gift it closer to Christmas? Thank you very much. Michele
Hi there, this “Nutella” spread should be good for at least a week in the fridge. Freezing it should stop the clock if you want to make it in advance 👍
