I hear Nutella in a crowd full of people and a literal, instant gastronomical blush captures my mind and soul like a lover’s affection. I kid you not; this is how much I am head over heels in frantic love with Nutella. I feel it has that innate global taste that is both nostalgic and thoroughly enjoyable as an ingredient capable of elevating a recipe into a burst of flavoursome detailing if used wisely. Here are some recipe ideas with Nutella to quench your unexplained craving for smooth molten chocolate, nutty hazel, creamy texture and more.
Nutella Strawberry Sundae
Take a bowl and put together your favourite dessert ingredients to make a splash of colours and flavours. Chop some fresh, fragrant strawberries and layer them on your favourite scoop of ice cream.
Slather the bowl with Nutella of your desired quantity and there you have a concoction of sultry global taste in a minute!
Smoothies
Turn your favourite fruit smoothie into a chocolatey affair just with a tablespoon (or more) of Nutella. Put in the fruit of choice, some milk, sugar if needed and a generous helping of the hazelnut spread to fix your breakfast in a jiffy!
Nutella French Toast
Who would have known that your quick-fix savoury breakfast can be turned into a blend of the most unexpected flavours! Make a portion of crunchy French toast and layer Nutella to whip up a marriage made in heaven.
Nutella Mug Cake
Take your dearest mug and mix together the usual cake batter of flour, essence, sugar, baking powder, a splash of milk, a little bit of golden, molten butter, an egg and of course, liberal doses of Nutella. Whisk everything together into a smooth batter and shove it in the microwave for a quick minute or two for the best mug chocolate hazelnut cake you have ever had in your life!
Nutella and Banana Topped Breakfast Bread
Transform any bread of your choice with Nutella as the foundation spread and circular chopped bananas. Grill ‘em if you like that crunch and sprinkle some icing sugar on top to kick-start your day on a scrumptious note.
Afternoon S’ mores
A literal 3 ingredient recipe that makes up for your odd-time craving for food, s’ mores is the most loved comfort food of all. First up, grill a couple of marshmallows into a gooey texture. Spread Nutella on one side of a vanilla Graham cracker and the viscous white mush on one side of another. Put them together and your saviour for the night is ready!
No-bake Nutella Mousse
In a mixing bowl, whisk in a cup of heavy cream and Nutella, until soft peaks form. Add a sprinkle of powdered coffee to accentuate the flavour of chocolate.
Scrape the sides of your bowl and mix once again. Serve chilled.
Nutella’s versatility as an ingredient or on its own is not specific to an individual’s palate. If you are willing, try out these easy-peasy recipes and indulge in what can be called ‘heavenly delights’.
