Nutella Deserts

[SpiceIsGreat]

What kind of desserts do you all make with Nutella?

I have made a Nutella swirled cheesecake and it was great. I've also dipped strawberries in Nutella when I didn't have regular chocolate and that tasted great.

Nutella on a spoon, nutella at noon,
nutella in a french crepe with bananas and powdered sugar atop!

Nutella is a delicious delicate creamy delight
eat it in the morning and eat it at night.

If you've never had it you really ought to try
you might like it so much it'll make you cry!

Can you believe I've NEVER tasted it- EVER?

That is so funny Kev, I had never had it until about a year or so ago, I happened to have it while I was on a diet (the Flat Belly Diet LOL) and we had went to IHOP and they had it in a crepe with sliced banana and powdered sugar and I fell in love with the stuff! Then my little "Pooh" girl tasted it and now she is addicted, eats it by the spoonfuls! She likes it better than p-nut butter on a spoon!

Nutella banana crepes

2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
Butter for cooking crepes


3/4 cup Nutella, or more, warmed
1 cup sliced bananas
Whipped cream (optional)

Beat eggs with milk until evenly mixed. Whisk in flour gradually, to avoid lumps in batter, then sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons melted butter and vanilla. Whisk until combined and uniform. (Or put above ingredients in a blender and whir for about 10 seconds.)

Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt about a tablespoon butter in pan, tilting pan to cover bottom with butter. Add about a cup of batter, and swirl pan so batter covers bottom.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on heat, until crepe starts to brown slightly at edges. Flip crepe, and cook for another minute. Remove crepe to plate kept in warm oven.

Repeat crepe process until all crepes are made. Spread softened Nutella on half of the crepe.

Put bananas on one quarter. Fold crepe into quarters with Nutella and bananas inside.

Arrange three stuffed crepes on a plate. Top with more bananas and drizzle with Nutella. Add whipped cream if you’re so inclined. Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.

Creamy Nutella Cheesecake

Crust
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup melted butter

Filling
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1/2 cup milk
1 (13 ounce) jar Nutella

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients. Pat into the bottom of springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.

In the bowl of a mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla extract until just combined. Add egg yolks and egg, beat on low until just combined. Add milk and Nutella and mix completely.

Pour filling into springform pan. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Place springform pan on a deep cookie sheet and then place in oven. Create a water bath by adding water to the outer cookie sheet, just enough to fill the pan halfway up the side of the springform pan. This will help buffer the heat from the bottom of the oven.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until center appears set when shaken lightly. Remove from water bath and cool on a wire rack. Remove cake from pan, cool, and store in the refrigerator.

Makes about 12 slices.
