1. Begin by melting the dark chocolate. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it using a double boiler or microwave (in 20-second intervals, stirring each time) until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine Nutella and the melted dark chocolate. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
3. In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream and add the powdered sugar (if using) and vanilla extract. Use a hand or stand mixer to whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
4. Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the Nutella-chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream in 2-3 additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
5. Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with a spatula if desired.
6. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
7. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or toasted hazelnuts for added flavor and presentation.
