Cinnamon Hazelnut Cream

Cinnamon Hazelnut Cream gluten free vegan cream

This cinnamon hazelnut cream is suitable for any gluten free vegan gourmet dessert! However, you will likely need a high powered blender like a Vitamix for this one, but it’s worth it!

In this order, add:

  • 1/2 cup of vegan milk (soy milk, almond milk, hazelnut milk, etc.)
  • 1 cup of organic raw cane sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • dash of nutmeg

Blend these ingredients until smooth. Then add:

  • 1 cup of hazelnuts

Blend until smooth. This flavor is like entering a state of euphoria!
