I miss Nutella!

[colorful]

Since going vegan I miss miss miss the yummy, smooth, rich hazelnutty Nutella I used to love! Are there any good vegan substitutes out there?

[rincaro]

Does nutella have dairy? I've never eaten it. You might try searching for some recipes. What's in the jarred stuff? How is it "described" on the jar?

The jarred stuff is definitely not vegan, I've looked. I think it's got milk. I miss it too! :grr: I used to dip animal crackers in it. Yum!

I love the stuff, as well.

Sugar, vegetable oils, hazelnuts (13%), cocoa, milk, skimmed-milk powder (5%), milk proteins, lecitine (emulsifying agent), natural flavours.

Found here (http://members.tripod.com/~NutellaFans/strange.html).

ETA: Oops! We posted at the same time Christy!

I bet you could mix up hazelnuts, soy milk, cocoa & sugar and get pretty much the same thing. It wouldn't be shelf stable, but it should work.

Yech. That stuff made me sick when I tried it a year or two ago. Toooooo chocolatey.

[Christy]

Toooooo chocolatey.
Is there such a thing? :surprised

If you do a google search there appears to be some recipies. But apparently there also is a product called Chocoreale that is similar to Nutella and vegan. Product reviews are here:

http://www.ciao.co.uk/Chocoreale__Review_5279492

I'm gonna have to figure out a way to get that!

[Alfiedog]

now I'm having cravings . . . If anyone can find out where to order Chocoreale in the US, even online, I'd be much obliged!

[colorful]

Is there such a thing? :surprised

not IMHO :lick:

Alfiedog ~ I just went to that site, it looks great and for some reason since it is made in Europe I think it's more likely to taste good... :) I'm with you, if anyone figures out how to order the stuff I'll be the first to try it!

[Alfiedog]

Finally!!! Just ordered TWO bottles of EACH of the three different flavors from:

Veganstore.co.uk


Colorful - are you going to order some too?

Pangea carries a vegan version of nutella

http://www.veganstore.com

[epski]

I used to eat crepes with nutella and banana slices... Mmmm. Of course, crepes are typically made with egg, so those are out anyway, though surely there's a vegan recipe somewhere!

[epski]

Man, Pangea is slow!

[Alfiedog]

It is really really really slow.

[berrykat]

8.49 a jar plus shipping! :eek:

[colorful]

Okay, I've looked under pretty much all the food items (except for "meat alternatives") and I can't find it! help...

nevermind! how did I miss the section called "other chocolates"? :dunce:

[rij73]

where is this alleged nutella clone on pangea? i can't find it...

[Alfiedog]

it's there - the chocoreale but it's too slow to load.

[colorful]

8.49 a jar plus shipping! :eek:

krikey! maybe I'd better check with the husband before ordering this one!

[epski]

Yeah, I gave up. Too damn slow to navigate that site. I'm sticking with veganessentials for now. Wonder if they sell it...

This makes me very sad that I ate all my Chocoreale because I really want to try this.

Vegan Crepes: http://vegetarian.allrecipes.com/az/VeganCrepes.asp

I thought I had a Bryanna Clark Grogan recipe as well, but I can't seem to find it online.

ETA: I also have a recipe for making your own chocolate hazelnut spread at home that is far superior to both Nutella and Chocoreale, although a bit more labor intensive (far less so, however, if you buy your hazelnuts already peeled and roasted). I'll post that as well when I have a chance.

Anxiously awaiting.... :nana:

[clairebear]

crepes make just fine w/ soy milk and ener-g egg replacer :) Just use your normal recipe, and make substitutions!
