SWEET MENU’S EASY NUTELLA CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Serves Four

Ingredients

3/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup Nutella

1 and 1/2 cup whipped cream

Extra whipped cream and dark chocolate curls to serve

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat again. Then add the Nutella and beat for 30 seconds or so, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture is combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a spatula until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Pour the mousse into four serving dishes and pop into the fridge for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. To serve, dollop a teaspoon of whipped cream on top and sprinkle over a few chocolate curls.

Pinned it just after looking at the first picture. This is my perfect idea of indulgence x

Jess, what an easy, elegant dessert! But I don’t think I could wait 4-6 hours. I think I’d put it in my freezer for five minutes and then call it good 🙂
