Indulge in a simple yet exquisite treat with this Baguette with Chocolate Spread recipe. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack, this recipe combines the rich flavors of dark chocolate, hazelnuts, and butter. The homemade chocolate spread is creamy and decadent, perfect for topping a freshly baked baguette.
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and the skins begin to split.
- Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove most of the skins.
- Chop the hazelnuts finely and set aside.
- Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water).
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate, condensed milk, and room-temperature butter.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped hazelnuts until evenly distributed.
- Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Spread a generous amount of the chocolate hazelnut spread onto each slice of baguette.
5. Serve:
- Arrange the prepared slices on a serving plate.
- Enjoy immediately, or cover and refrigerate if you prefer the spread to set slightly. Let refrigerated spread come to room temperature before serving.
With its rich, creamy texture and delightful nutty undertones from the hazelnuts, this Baguette with Chocolate Spread is sure to be a hit. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast treat or a sweet snack, this recipe is both simple and satisfying. Give it a try and savor each bite of chocolatey goodness.
Baguette with chocolate spread FAQ:
Store any leftover chocolate spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for about 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate. However, this will result in a sweeter spread and a different flavor profile.
If you need a substitution for hazelnuts, you can use other nuts like walnuts or almonds, or even sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. Just note that this will change the flavor.
For this recipe, a standard 12- to 16-inch baguette works well. Adjust the number of slices depending on the size of your baguette.
The hazelnuts are properly toasted when they are fragrant and the skins begin to split, typically around 10-12 minutes at 350°F (175°C). Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Cooking Tips:
- For a smoother spread, you can blend the hazelnuts into a fine paste before adding them to the chocolate mixture.
- Make sure to use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- If the spread is too thick, warm it slightly before spreading on the baguette.
- You can store the chocolate spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- To enhance the flavor, lightly toast the hazelnuts before blending them.
