1. Nutella Mousse
Smooth and delicious…
Ingredients: 4 medium eggs + 2 extra egg whites, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, 200 grams of Nutella, 50 grams of unsalted butter, 50 grams of creme fraiche.
Instructions:
Starting with the eggs, separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
Beat the egg yolks whilst adding in the sugar until you are left with a frothy mixture.
Fill a pan with water and heat over the hob. When the water is simmering, gently place a bowl into it and then place the Nutella and butter into the bowl. Stir the Nutella and butter mixture until it has melted, then take it off the hob and leave it to cool a little.
Add the Nutella and butter mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Add in the creme fraiche.
Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then, using a spatula, fold the egg whites into the rest of the ingredients. Make sure to do this gently so that you don’t squash all the air out.
Place the mixture into eight small ramekins before putting them into the fridge. Leave them to sit for six hours.
2. Nutella Truffles
One of the simplest Nutella recipes…
Ingredients: 15 whole hazelnuts, 50 grams of plain chocolate, 150 grams of Nutella, 2 tablespoons of single cream, 30 grams of chopped and toasted hazelnuts.
Instructions:
Cut up the plain chocolate into small pieces and then melt in a saucepan. Add in the Nutella and the cream and mix together. Then remove from the heat.
Pour the chopped hazelnuts into a bowl and set a tray down beside them.
Making sure the Nutella mixture is cool first, grab a small piece (around the same size as the whole hazelnuts) and, placing a whole hazelnut into the palm of your hand, roll the mixture around it.
Roll it until you have created a small ball. Then, place this ball into the bowl of chopped hazelnuts and roll it until it is coated in them
Place each ball on a tray and place in the fridge for at least half an hour.
