Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso
• 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
• 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
• 1 cup whipped cream
• Sliced bananas, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the heavy cream and espresso granules in a small mixing bowl. Stir until dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Add the espresso mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer, along with the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Mix with the whisk attachment on medium for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and continue beating until very soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Garnish with the toasted hazelnuts and whipped cream and serve.
