Nutella is a delicious chocolate spread we all know and love, but it is detrimental to some of the most important ecosystems on the planet. Nutella contains palm oil, which is farmed and mass-produced by the deforestation and destruction of rainforests.

With this recipe you can make your own Nutella without the environmental guilt that comes with it.

In order to eat cookie dough without cooking it, you can remove the eggs and bicarb from our chocolate chip cookie recipe. You should heat treat the flour to make it edible. Raw flour is essentially raw wheat that still has all the pesticides and bacteria on it as when it was wheat in the field. Cooking your flour helps to avoid food poisoning. You can heat treat the flour ahead of time and keep it in an airtight container or jar to use for all no-bake recipes. We also halved our cookie recipe for this page, as the cookie dough doesn't keep for as long as cooked cookies.
