Nutella Powder #SundaySupper Gifts from the Kitchen

In September, I took a class on Culinary Science and working with Tapioca Maltodextrin. With this method, you can take items with a high fat ratio and turn it into powder. You can learn more about my class and this technique by clicking here.

When Susan from The Wimpy Vegetarian announced this weeks #SundaySupper theme: Gifts from the Kitchen, the first thing that came to mind was Nutella Powder. This is a unique gift that is easy and cheap to make. You wont find Nutella Powder at your grocery store. You can sprinkle the powder over a grilled banana, on a piece of toast, on top of ice cream or even make Nutella milk (amazing, trust me). A little goes a long way. 1/4 cup of Nutella powder will last quite some time.

The process is simple. You first need Tapioca Maltodextrin which you can buy here for $9.99. I will never go through this entire batch. Grab a jar of Nutella, your food processor and an air tight container.

Nutella Powder
2 tablespoons of Nutella
3/4 cup of Tapioca Maltodextrin
Put into a food processor, pulse. Add more Maltodextrin powder if needed.

Serving this powder at your next dinner party alongside dessert will make you the cool geeky foodie. For the record: One serving of Nutella, which is 2 tablespoons, has 200 calories, 11 grams of fat, 22 carbs, 29 grams of sugar and 11 grams of saturated fat. Ouch. Using Tapioca Maltodextrin will turn those 2 tablespoons of Nutella into powder, you now have 3/4 cup of powder which you can sprinkle on your toast - your 11 grans of fat has turned into .39 grams of fat for a 12oz portion.
