star ingredient: chocolate-hazelnut paste
As if the chocolate-hazelnut spread gianduja isn’t delicious enough straight off the spoon, I’ve folded in whipped cream and crème fraîche to create a truly decadent (and ridiculously easy) mousse. For a supereasy ice cream sandwich, spoon the mousse between chocolate wafers and freeze overnight.

Gianduja Mousse

This is fantastic! Very rich and creamy. It develops a lovely mousse texture after it chills, and could easily be used as an icing, to fill cannolis (we're already going to try it again to fill cannolis this weekend!), to fill chocolate cups, etc.

I made a second batch because it really only makes enough for two servings, but it was so rich, my kids couldn't finish it in one sitting. So perhaps it makes sense to have small servings, but you won't be content with that.

The ingredients are expensive, so this may be best saved for special occasions. Super easy to make, though, so you really can indulge yourself whenever!

This is deliciious, but portions are quite small .  I have used it as a filling for a brownie ice cream sandwich, baking the brownies in a large pan so that they are thin, and then putting mousse between two squares and freezing.
