Hi a huge welcome to Steve's kitchen, the other day we made Nutella and I said we'd
try and make Peanutella
what is peanutella, well I haven't really got a clue but come down here we are going
to take simple much cheaper unsalted peanuts these are, just come in close and
have a look these are the same peanuts that I've just roasted for about 30
minutes in the oven at 180 degrees thats 350 degrees Fahrenheit just to
caramelize them and get some extra flavor
Now why on earth are we experimenting with peanuts well as I said to you before
Nutella originated from the nut butters of Europe and they added chocolate and
flavors into it and I just wondered because hazelnuts are so expensive
whether we could make it with another famous nut butte,r peanut butter
so let's get on and just see how this comes out
So first let's make the nut butter we've got our roasted peanuts into a food
processor or blender and we just want to blend this together until we get what
would be basically an unsalted peanut butter
Now I've done that for just a little over four minutes
Now it's not as oily as the hazelnuts were but it's starting to get fairly
smooth now if you look there's some texture in the peanuts there we're going
to blitz it a bit more but at the moment let's add our chocolate in, you
want about half a cup or a hundred grams of chocolate melts pop these into a
microwave proof bowl and we just want to heat them 15 seconds at a time until that
chocolate has melted
I'm just going to add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa that's unsweetened
cocoa and because we do want some sweetness we've got about 3 tablespoons of
icing sugar in there as well and that's confectionery or powdered sugar add in a
tablespoon of a light oil
I'm going to add a half a teaspoon of vanilla essence and i'm just going to
add a pinch or so of salt
Now that took about a minute but you'll see that this chocolate is actually
melted even though it looks still solid
so we're going to pop the chocolate in there as well
and we're going to blitz that for another three to four minutes so I
stopped there that's another four minutes or so and it's looking pretty
good I did scrape the inside down once just to get the bits of nuts but come and
have a look
I mean that looks just like nutella now look at that is still a little bit of
texture in there but it looks fantastic but more to the point what does it taste
like it is still super hot but give this a try
Man that's really good I mean it isn't nutella it's Peanutella and it's got
that sort of nutty sort of peanuts flavour
underneath but I reckon that is going to be really nice with an English crumpet or
whatever you like to put he Nutella on that will taste great
Now could you make this with macadamia nuts or Brazil nuts
make a Macella up or a brazilella I don't know you comment down below if you do
decide to make this with a different type of nut maybe share a picture across
to me and let me know how it comes out
I feel a little bit like I'm back in the old days in this way when somebody was
experimenting in the kitchen trying to add chocolate into a nut butter and
coming up with the original nutella this is really very interesting
I mean is it marketable don't know somebody out there decided to make this
into a commercial product basically a chocolate peanut butter
don't forget who invented it
In the meantime be good
take care share the love give this one a thumbs-up and I will see you in the next
video
be good. Well that really is very interesting
I quite like it I'm a peanut butter fan anyway but chocolate peanut butter
I'll leave a link up here to the nutella if you want to get across and check that
out and some other videos as well
