Dare we say it's even better than the original?
, a spread over baguette, a dip for fresh fruit, a swirl in ice cream, a center for truffles, and the black bottom of a cream pie., Italy's beloved chocolate hazelnut paste—though, where traditional gianduja has a much higher percentage of hazelnuts, Nutella is made predominantly from sugar and palm oil, flavored with the bare minimum of hazelnuts and cocoa.
I've also dialed in a method for dissolving the brittle, resulting in a silky-smooth spread that still has all the same notes of caramel, minus the crunch—so the final texture is up to you. To make the brittle, I combine water, corn syrup or golden syrup, sugar, salt, and hazelnuts in a three-quart saucier over medium heat, and cook until it's caramelized to taste.
This isn't as easy with golden syrup, as it will make the candy darker from the start. While a preferred target color can be learned with experience, beginners will need a clip-on* digital thermometer to confirm the candy has reached at least 320°F. Once the candy has shed its heat, transfer it to a food processor, or else wrap it up tight in plastic and nestle it into an airtight container.
After about 24 hours at cool room temperature , the mixture will set rather firmly, and the candy bits will develop a delicate crispness. At this point, it can be spooned up with a melon baller to make chocolate-hazelnut truffles, or simply spread over thick slices of toast.
