My notes

Tips

  • Any chocolate hazelnut spread works. Many also contain soy, so check the label if you avoid it.
  • Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan for 3–4 minutes, then rub off the skins in a clean towel. They keep in a jar for a week.
  • Want it thinner? Add 2–4 tbsp cold milk and run Re-spin.

Why it works

The spread brings sugar, fat and cocoa in one, so no extra sugar is needed and the base freezes soft enough to blend thick. A spoon of cocoa deepens the chocolate so it tastes rich, not only sweet.
