Oct 22, 2023 Hazelnut and chocolate is a match made in heaven and I am a big fan of this combination. I even made Sarvesh’s birthday cake last year with the same flavors. If you are a fan of this combination like me then you are going to love making this Nutella Peda for the festivities. This recipe is easy to make and needs only 15 minutes of cooking time. Pedas are generally made with mawa/khoya (dried milk solids) or milk powder. Made with mawa, and nutella, these pedas are perfect for Diwali or to make for your potlucks and get-togethers. I like using a mold to shape the pedas since it makes the pedas look extra pretty. But if you don’t have a mold you can simply shape them using your hands. I have always been a huge peda fan, my nani (maternal grandmother) used to make the best pedas at home with just milk and sugar. I need to share that version soon on the blog but I have over the years shared other versions like paan peda and mathura peda (another favorite)!
Ingredients
These Nutella Peda require very few ingredients! Mawa/Khoya: I like using Vadilal brand mawa for this recipe. You can find it in the freezer section at Indian grocery stores. In my experience, this is the best store-bought mawa that’s available in the US. Nutella: if you are not a fan of store-bought nutella, you can use any hazelnut spread that you like. If the hazelnut spread you are using is unsweetened, then you might have to add sugar to the mixture. Flavors: I like using salt in my sweets to balance out the flavors and in this peda recipe I also added some vanilla which is optional.
How to Make Nutella Peda
Variations You Can Try
To give the peda some crunch, you can also stuff them with roasted hazelnuts. Just place one in the center, roll the dough ball and then shape into pedas using the mold. It will give a nice bite when you bite into the pedas. You can also dip the pedas into some dark chocolate for that extra chocolate flavor.
