Hmmm… Hazelnut!

We love hazelnuts, especially in our baking creations. Are you having cravings for this amazing nut, but lacking inspiration? Then definitely make one of these recipes. From easy and quick to an elaborate day-long project: go nuts with those hazels.

White chocolate, espresso and hazelnut praline cake

Are you in the mood to go completely all out? This is your recipe. It takes a little work, but what you get in return… Wow. Layers of cake are alternated with Kahlua espresso cream and ganache. Cover it with curls of white chocolate and hazelnut praline. Heavenly.

Did you know you can order vegan pizza?

Homemade hazelnut spread

Make your own hazelnut paste for a change—it’s delicious. Use it in your bakes, as a spread on bread or as a dip. Just be careful: it’s important to peel the hazelnuts the right way. Before you grind them in the food processor, they should look like chickpeas.

Light hazelnut cookies

These cookies are a little like peanut cookies, but with a twist. You’ll also use your homemade hazelnut paste here. Add the remaining ingredients and make a large ball of dough. Shape the dough into perfect round balls. Bake and let cool. The final step is the most fun: drizzle lines of melted chocolate over your cookies. You can choose whichever kind you like. Extra delicious—and it looks good too, right?

Madeleines

Are you just as crazy about madeleines? This variation looks incredibly cute, but appearances can be deceiving. They have a boozy edge, after all. You make the madeleines with Frangelico and serve them with a whiskey caramel sauce. Finally, dip them in crushed hazelnuts and you have the ultimate treat.

Brioche bread pudding

Last but not least. This bread pudding is perfect at any time of day. Naturally, instead of Nutella, you use your own homemade hazelnut spread. Even more delicious.
