Nutella Crescent Rolls

I love warm, soft, flaky crescent rolls. Their buttery goodness is one of my favorite things. Also as anyone who reads this blog knows, I love Nutella. So of course I decided that these two great things would go great together. Not surprisingly these disappeared almost as soon as they came out of the oven. I'm sure they'll be a hit when you make them too! Enjoy! Until the next one!

Ingredients:

Crescent rolls
Nutella


Procedure:

Preheat the oven per the package instructions, then open and unroll the package of crescent rolls.

Separate the triangles.

Put a little Nutella on top.

Or put a lot! Either way, Spread it out over the top.

Roll up the crescent rolls and put them in the oven. Make sure to leave some space between them so they can expand.

They'll come out looking a beautiful golden color and a little Nutella peeking out.

With a little coffee, milk or tea, these are priceless!

Enjoy!

No Bake Creamy Nutella Pie

Yesterday was my birthday! Usually this means spending an hour or so in the kitchen making my birthday cake. However this year I wanted to make something different from the traditional birthday cake, and being a Nutella lover I found this recipe on Pinterest that belongs to The Recipe Critic. In the original recipe they made the crust from scratch and they used 16 oz of cream cheese. However I decided not make the crust from scratch because this is a dessert that I wanted to have ready to go quickly. I also wanted to intensify the Nutella flavor so I decided to only use 8 oz of cream cheese. This version makes for a very quick and tasty preparation. Because I used less cream cheese the Nutella flavor was intensified, so it tasted awesome! This is a very simple and easy recipe. Hope you guys enjoy it. Until the next one!

Note: For this post I've included all the steps at the beginning of the recipe as well as under each picture. This is a trial to see if this helps make it easier for you guys to follow the recipe, so please let me know in the comments if you'd like this to become a regular thing.

Ingredients:

(1) 8 oz cream cheese package
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
2/3 cup Nutella
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
8 oz Cool Whip


Procedure:

Beat the cream cheese and confectioners sugar in a stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the Nutella and cocoa powder.
Fold in the cool whip.
Pour this filling mixture onto the crust and spread evenly with a plastic spatula.
Place the pie into the refrigerator and allow it to set for 2-3 hours.
Slice and serve with Nutella and whipped cream.

Put the cream cheese in your mixing bowl.

Add the confectioners sugar.

Mix at medium high speed.

Once mixed add the Nutella.

Add the cocoa powder

Mix well until combined and smooth.

Add a little bit of the cool whip. And mix well with the spatula.

Add the rest of the cool whip and mix it slowly.

It's gonna be difficult at first, but keep on it.

After 3 to 5 minutes you will be in an amazing, fluffy Nutella heaven!

Have your crust ready.

Add the Nutella filling. Smooth it with a baker's spatula.

Form a border with the remaining cool whip. I used a star tip with a piping bag.

Add some chocolate syrup to decorate.

Keep adding syrup as desired! And keep taking photos!

 There needs to be proof that you made this amazing dessert before it disappears!

Nutella Mousse Brownie Trifle!

Back when I was a wife, but not yet a mother, I made a Nutella trifle. My husband went crazy for it! He pretty much inhaled it. However it used mascarpone cheese which isn't usually available where we go buy groceries so I never made it again. A few years went by and then the other day we stopped at a different grocery store. Suddenly my husband dashed across the store and tore the mascarpone cheese off the shelf. How he saw it I don't know since my husband is all but legally blind, but he carried it back like he'd just found a hidden treasure. He put it in the cart and told me, "here now you can make trifle tomorrow." All matter of fact, like it was no big deal! I took a big breath and told him I loved him so much that I'd go ahead and make it.

Ingredients:

Whipped cream

2 cups of heavy cream
2 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar

Nutella Mousse

6 oz of mascarpone cheese
1 cup of nutella
1 cup of whipped cream

Brownies

Make a batch of homemade brownies or make your favorite box mix


Procedures:


Nutella Mousse

Measure the Nutella

Add the mascarpone

Add the Nutella to the mascarpone.

Mix them well, then let it rest while you make the whipped cream.

Once the whipped cream is made, add one cup of the cream to the mascarpone mixture.

Start folding it in slowly, moving from the center to the outside of the bowl so the  the whipped cream doesn't loose that airy texture.

Keep mixing until it's smooth and even.

Whipped Cream

Pour the heavy cream into the mixing bowl.

Add the 2 1/2 Tablespoons of white sugar and start mixing.

Once done set aside.

Trifle

Time to assemble the trifle!!

Cut the brownies into small cubes.

Put some brownies in a trifle bowl or any bowl of your preference.

Pour a little Nutella mousse and add some brownies.

Add a layer of whipped cream

Add more brownies.

Add another layer of mousse, then brownies and this time you can add some chocolate syrup.

Add  the final whipped cream layer.

Top with brownie crumbs to decorate. 

And now it's time to enjoy the magnificence of the Nutella Mousse Trifle!

Until the next one!
