Zero-Carb Nutella Butter Mousse is just what you need if you’re looking for a chocolate-y, hazelnut-y spread that’s super easy and has minimal carbs.

Nutella is a firm favourite around the world. And it’s pretty obvious why. Creamy, smooth and bursting with nutty flavour, it’s easy to slather on a baguette or dip some breadsticks into the jar for instant sweet pleasure.

But of course, whether keto , ketovore, or even S.A.D., Nutella is one of those manufactured wonders that has to be given a wide berth. For too many reasons.

My newest Nutella replica is now my absolute favourite. No home-made attempt will ever recreate the real Nutella, but this one comes close enough.

How to Make Zero-Carb Nutella Butter Mousse

Butter is the main ingredient. Hazelnut butter, a little cocoa powder, sweetener and a touch of vanilla, complete the ensemble.

Warm up the butter until your sweetener has dissolved, let it cool to semi-solid consistency, add the rest, and whip. It will lighten in colour and its volume will increase with the air that’s injected. You can then store the mousse at room temperature for a week, or longer in the fridge.

How to use it? Smear it over a slice of Zero-Carb Sweet Bread. Spread it on a layer of sponge to make a Zero-Carb Swiss Roll. Spoon it straight into your mouth. The choice is yours.

Deliciously simple. And ready in minutes. Enjoy!

use a mini spatula to scoop the mousse into a sealable jar and store at room temperature in a dark location.

Notes

You may substitute allulose with powdered erythritol (U.S. option HERE), but you'll experience a grainy texture, as erythritol tends to crystallise.
