I’m sure the strapline ‘Two hazelnuts, skimmed milk and a dash of cocoa in every serving’ is supposed to make you see Nutella as nutritious. But for the mum of a child with tree nut and dairy allergies it just sounds like a nightmare combination! However, it tastes so good I wanted to recreate a nut free Nutella for J and make a delicious dairy free and nut free chocolate spread.
I love a challenge and recreating popular treats so they are safe and delicious is one of my favourite things to do! I never want J to miss out on something that his friends can have but sometimes we just need to do things differently. And different can be just as good…
Welcome nut free nutella!
And I am soooo pleased with the result! It tastes nutty, chocolatey, moreish and is great on toast or with fresh fruit. In fact, it’s so good it often never makes it to toast but gets eaten straight out the bowl! It will last for up to five days in the fridge though if you have more willpower than me!
This nut free, dairy free chocolate spread only contains 4 ingredients and can be made in minutes. So it’s great to whip up as a last minute treat and is also nice and healthy for an after school snack or sandwich filler.
Also, try using it as a filling in treats like my mini vegan chocolate croissants or a dip for vegan churros.

Ooo yum that sounds and looks delicious! Well done you!
Thanks Vicki. It is a good-un!
No problem, I hope you are your daughter enjoy it.
This looks delish and easy! Will definitely try this for my son who is allergic to dairy and soya. Thanks
Hope he enjoys it, let me know how you get on.
Oh well done for perfecting this!! It looks delicious! We’re now having to avoid sunflower too and the only dairy free milk we can do is hemp 🙁
Oh no! I have seen pumpkin seed paste too if you can have that, but don’t know what it’s like. I’m sure it would work with Hemp milk too.
Oh this sounds delicious. I never knew they did nutfree. We do nutfree peanut butter called wowbutter and love it. Thanks for linking up to Share With Me I hope you are enjoying my blog hop and thanks for all the linky support! #sharewithme
Oh yeah, I love Wowbutter too. Can’t believe how like the real thing it is.
What an inventive and creative recipe! Your son is so lucky you make an effort to give him the same kind of food his friends would enjoy. 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up with #foodpornthursdays x
Thanks! I love finding adaptations that he enjoys.
What a great idea!
Thanks, it’s definitely one of my better ones!
O and we just love sunflower butter here <3 (and obviously chocolate!)
