Auguri, Friends…

Or, almost anyhow.
Tomorrow is World Nutella Day!
Woo hoo…
In honor of this annual munch-fest, I tested my nutella-mixing skills and created
Nutella Chocolate-Chunk Mousse
Yum. This dessert is rich and chocolately, and promises not to dissapoint nutella-lovers everywhere.
Health nuts – be sure to check below for the low-fat option!
Here’s what you need:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup nutella
- 1/4 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- However much chocolate bar candy you can handle!
- Whipped cream (optional)
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and instant coffee.
Mix with a spoon until the coffee is dissolved (about 5 minutes).
Add nutella and beat on medium speed for one minute.
Crumble hard chocolate and beat for an additional 30 seconds.
Spoon into individual cups, cover, and refrigerate at least four hours.
If you are so unclined, add whipped cream just before serving. We didn’t. Instead, we added extra chocolate and a dash of ground instant coffee!
Delizioso!
Now – for that afore-mentioned low-fat option. After you eat your chocolate-chunk mousse, put on your favorite pair of tennis shoes, go outside, and jog along your route of choice for at least 5 hours~that should do it!
