Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Crushed hazelnuts, toasted
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create the chocolate ganache. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
While the ganache cools, prepare the hazelnut mousse. In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the hazelnut spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until the mixture is smooth and forms stiff peaks.
To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of the cooled chocolate ganache into the bottom of each serving glass or jar. Follow with a layer of the hazelnut mousse. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of mousse.
Sprinkle crushed toasted hazelnuts on top of each parfait for added crunch. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld and the layers set.
Serve chilled and enjoy this indulgent dessert!
