Star Ingredient: Chocolate-Hazelnut Paste

As if the chocolate-hazelnut spread gianduja isn't delicious enough straight off the spoon, Grace Parisi has 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.

Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut paste, such as Nutella

    4. 1/2 cup heavy cream
    5. Chocolate wafer cookies, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the chocolate-hazelnut paste with the crème fraîche and brandy at low speed until smooth.

Spoon the mousse into small bowls and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Serve with the chocolate wafer cookies
