NUTELLA SPREAD
In this recipes, I’ve opted for homemade Nutella, imparting a nuanced flavor profile that leans towards the richness of hazelnuts over excessive sweetness. However, if you’re short on time or just want an easy fix, store-bought Nutella works just fine and gives you a similar flavor kick.
Making your own Nutella lets you dial up the hazelnut flavor and tweak the sweetness to your liking. Nevertheless, should time constraints or availability deter you from preparing homemade Nutella, readily available options from the store offer a convenient alternative without compromising on taste.
If you’re curious about whipping up your own Nutella spread, check out the recipe here. It’s a fun way to add your own spin to your recipes and adjust the flavors to match your taste buds. Go ahead, play around with different hazelnut-to-chocolate ratios and sweetness levels until you find your perfect Nutella blend.

INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTES
Ingredient quantities please refer to the recipes card (Click here)!
Filling :
- Homemade Nutella – Homemade Nutella is a chocolate-hazelnut spread made with roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, sugar, and sometimes milk. It’s less sweet and often has a more intense hazelnut flavor compared to store-bought versions. If homemade Nutella is unavailable, you can use store-bought Nutella or any other chocolate-hazelnut spread as a substitute.
Tart Pastry :
- Butter – Butter is a key ingredient in tart pastry, providing richness and flavor. You can substitute butter with margarine or shortening, but keep in mind that the flavor and texture may differ slightly.
- Icing Sugar – Icing sugar, also known as powdered sugar, adds sweetness and a smooth texture to the pastry dough. Granulated sugar can be used as a substitute, but the texture of the pastry may be slightly different.
- Egg – The egg acts as a binding agent and helps to provide structure to the pastry dough.
- Cake Flour – Cake flour has a lower protein content compared to all-purpose flour, resulting in a more tender and delicate pastry. If cake flour is unavailable, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. For every 1 cup of cake flour, use 1 cup of all-purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons, and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
- Pinch of Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of the pastry dough and balances the sweetness of the other ingredients. There’s no direct substitute for salt, but you can omit it if necessary.
These ingredients combine to create a delicious and buttery tart pastry filled with homemade Nutella, resulting in a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
RECIPES TIPS
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the pastry dough, it’s essential to work with chilled butter and cold water. This helps keep the dough from becoming too soft and sticky, making it easier to handle and shape.
- Pre-Bake Your Tart Crust: To ensure that your tart crust is crisp and fully baked, consider pre-baking it before adding the Nutella filling. This helps prevent a soggy bottom and ensures a flaky, golden crust.
- Use Homemade Nutella for Enhanced Flavor: While store-bought Nutella works perfectly fine, consider making homemade Nutella for a more intense hazelnut flavor and less sweetness. Homemade Nutella allows you to control the ingredients and customize the flavor to your liking.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While Nutella tarts are delicious on their own, consider adding toppings to enhance their flavor and appearance. Sliced strawberries, toasted hazelnuts, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar can add extra flair to your Nutella tart.
- Allow Tart to Cool Completely: After baking, it’s important to let the Nutella tart cool completely before adding any toppings or slicing. Allowing the tart to cool ensures that the Nutella filling sets properly and prevents it from melting. Slicing or topping the tart while it’s still hot can cause it to break apart easily.
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store the Nutella tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps preserve its freshness and prevents the crust from becoming soggy.
- Serve with Accompaniments: Nutella tarts pair well with a variety of accompaniments, such as a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Get creative and serve your Nutella tart with your favorite toppings for an extra special treat.
Remember that practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first batch doesn’t turn out exactly as you’d like. Enjoy the process of baking and refining the recipe to suit your preferences.
