Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut cream
What is hazelnut cream made of?
Hazelnut cream is a spread made with hazelnuts, and sweet varieties often also contain sugar, cocoa or chocolate, and oil or milk. The exact ingredients vary by recipe, so products sold under the same name can taste and behave differently.
Is hazelnut cream the same as Nutella?
No, hazelnut cream is a broad name for hazelnut-based spreads, while Nutella is one specific branded product. Some hazelnut creams contain cocoa or chocolate and added sweeteners, but their recipes and proportions are not necessarily the same.
How do you make hazelnut cream at home?
To make hazelnut cream at home, blend roasted hazelnuts until they form a smooth paste. Add cocoa or melted chocolate and a sweetener if desired, then blend again; a little oil can help loosen the texture.
Is hazelnut cream healthy?
Hazelnut cream can provide some of the qualities of hazelnuts, but sweet spreadable versions commonly include added sugar and fat. Treat it as a sweet topping rather than assuming it has the same everyday role as plain nuts.
Does hazelnut cream need to be refrigerated?
Usually, hazelnut cream is stored tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard; refrigeration can make it firm and harder to spread. Follow the storage directions on the particular container, since recipes and products differ.
Why is there oil on top of my hazelnut cream?
Oil on top of hazelnut cream is usually natural separation from the hazelnuts, not a sign that it has spoiled. Stir it thoroughly with a clean utensil; discard the cream if you also notice mold or an unpleasant rancid smell.
Can you bake with hazelnut cream?
Yes, hazelnut cream works as a filling or topping for cakes, cookies, pastries, and brownies. For a neat filling, add it after baking; when baking it inside dough, expect the cream to soften and spread.
Can you melt hazelnut cream?
Yes, hazelnut cream can be softened for drizzling or mixing into desserts. Warm it gently in short bursts or over a bowl of warm water, stirring often; overheating can make it separate or become too runny.
How long does hazelnut cream last after opening?
There is no single after-opening shelf life for every hazelnut cream because recipes and packaging differ. Keep the container sealed and use the storage and use-by guidance printed on it; always discard cream with mold or a rancid smell.
Can babies eat hazelnut cream?
Hazelnut cream is not a good regular food for babies because sweet versions contain added sugar and the sticky texture can be difficult to manage. Introduce age-appropriate forms of allergenic foods according to your child’s feeding guidance, especially if allergy risk is a concern.

What is Hazelnut cream?
Hazelnut cream is a sweet, spreadable product made with ground hazelnuts; some varieties also contain cocoa. It is used at breakfast on toast, stirred into porridge, or added to desserts such as cakes, biscuits and crêpes. In many countries, it is a familiar pantry spread, though ingredients and sweetness vary by brand.
Its smooth, rich texture and roasted-nut flavour pair well with fruit, plain yoghurt or a slice of bread. It is energy-dense, with 540 calories per 100 g, so a modest spread is often enough. For a less rich snack, serve a thin layer with sliced banana or apple rather than using it as a thick filling.
