16 servings
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as sunflower or grapeseed oil)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tipUse an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes.
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 12–14 minutes, until the skins are cracked and the nuts are deep golden brown and fragrant.

Transfer the hot hazelnuts onto a clean kitchen towel, fold the towel over them, and rub vigorously for about 1 minute until most of the papery skins have come off. It is fine if a little skin remains. Let the nuts cool for 15–20 minutes until no longer warm to the touch.
