Hazelnut Cream

The deep, rich, and enveloping aroma of hazelnuts.

A generous, comforting cream that evokes childhood snacks and simple desserts that are always a delight.

L’Épicurien’s Hazelnut Cream is an artisanal sweet treat dedicated to lovers of hazelnuts in all their forms. It highlights the nut’s rich aroma in a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

At the heart of the recipe is a hazelnut paste, carefully selected for its distinct flavor and long-lasting finish. Combined with cane sugar and water, it forms a balanced base—neither too sweet nor too heavy—that allows the hazelnut’s flavor to shine through.

Eggs and butter add roundness and creaminess, while soy lecithin, fruit pectin, and agar-agar ensure a natural consistency and a perfectly smooth texture. The result is a smooth, supple spread that’s easy to spread or incorporate into homemade desserts.

On the palate, the initial taste is mild, then the hazelnut flavor gradually comes to the fore, warm and lingering. The finish is long, with a slightly toasted note, reminiscent of praline without the excess sugar. A gourmet cream, refined and true to the spirit of L’Épicurien: simple, masterfully crafted, and deeply indulgent recipes

Made in France at our artisanal workshop in the South of France (Le Bosc, Hérault).
