These luscious pots de crème are a no-bake variation of my famous original vegan Crème au Chocolat. They add the sweet nutty taste of hazelnuts! If you love nutella, as most French people do–in fact they are obsessed (!)–you will absolutely LOVE these, c’est un régal ! Of course they are much healthier (not all that added sugar) and sustainable (no palm oil of course) and nutritious at that: Just take a look at the wholesome simple plant-based ingredients that I use, I am amazed myself! I like to serve these in beautiful champagne flutes or tall martini glasses to add a note of elegance to the whole experience!!

Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Crème

I prefer using dry roasted unsalted hazelnuts because they impart more flavor but raw hazelnuts will work as well.

    Catherine,
    the response I got from several guests was that this was the first vegan dessert the found really tasty,and I must say, this is really, really delicious. Again, I used some orange peel for a touch of citrus flavour, and that really brings out the best from the hazelnuts. Thank you for this great recipe

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and without a
    doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something
    regarding this.

    Hi Catherine, I will definitely try making this, it sounds delicious! I have been seeing Palm Oil in so many products and I avoid it because I’ve heard it’s not healthy. Can you explain why it’s not healthy and also explain the sustainable part? Also, do you use the coconut milk from a can or the kind in the refrigerated section that comes in containers like milk cartons? Thank you!
