Today is the 16th which means there are only 15 more days left to get your Nutella entry in for Dessert Wars!! So far we have had some darn good entries but I can't wait to see what y'all can come up with!
Has been hard to come up with a recipe? Well I'm here to help. I have a few resources that might kick up your creativity a few notches.
First off February 5th is World Nutella Day. The gals that run this site have amassed 400 amazing Nutella recipes. If need some Nutella Food Porn to get you going all have to do is look to food gawker's horde of Nutella desserts (or Tastespotting's of course!)
Just cuz Reeni and I can't compete in Dessert Wars doesn't mean that we can't bake along with you does it? We can't let y'all have all the fun!
Nutella Dream Puff by Momma Cupcake
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 cups flour
8 eggs
In heavy bottom saucepan heat water, butter, salt till till it boils. Turn down heat to medium high and add flour stirring vigorously. Stir flour until it forms a ball. Put mass in stand mixer immediately with your paddle attachment beat on slowest speed (this helps release some of that steam) for 2 minutes. Preheat oven to 400. While still stirring add eggs one at a time until batter is smooth, shiny and elastic.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With decorating bag and large star tip pipe batter in a conical pattern. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut a slit into the puff immediatly to release steam. Allow to cool completely.
For Filling:
1 1/2 cups butter, room temp
1 cup Nutella
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tbs milk
In stand mixer with paddle attachment beat butter and Nutella together until throughly incorporated. Add powdered sugar a little at a time until the frosting comes together. Add milk one tbs at a time until the frosting smooths out and becomes light and fluffy. Pipe into cream puff shells.
For Drizzle
1/2 cup Nutella
1 tbs hazelnut oil
Beat together with fork until Nutella mixture becomes vicious. Drizzle over Nutella Dream Puffs.
