Irresistibly Good Nutella Recipes

View Recipe: Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread

What doesn’t taste good with a little dollop of Nutella? Slather it on bread or dip breadsticks and strawberries into it. Top banana slices with it, bake it into thumbprint cookies, or use as the filling for sandwich cookies—the possibilities are endless. 

You can make your own homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread that mimics the addictive qualities of the store-bought variety—trust us, it's easy to do. For a two-tablespoon serving, our version saves you 18 grams of sugar and slashes the saturated fat in half. You also get twice the amount of protein and fiber, plus all the antioxidant benefits of dark chocolate.

Chocolate Baklava

View Recipe: Chocolate Baklava

This is a simply amazing recipe—layers of crisp phyllo interspersed with mixed nuts and hazelnut-chocolate spread, with just enough butter to enhance the flavor yet keep the sat fat low. Lightly spiced honey syrup gives the gooey, sticky quality that makes baklava so heavenly.

Use a light hand when swirling the batter; too much swirling may lose the stripe effect.

Hazelnut Lace

View Recipe: Hazelnut Lace

Somewhere between candy, cookie, and nut brittle lies this dessert that combines hazelnut meal (very finely ground nuts), a splash of Frangelico, and chocolate-hazelnut spread for a triple hit of nutty goodness. This sophisticated dessert, with its large, pizza-sized shape and artfully pebbled texture, only takes 21 minutes to make, so baking a second batch couldn't be easier.

Hazelnuts, hazelnut-chocolate spread, and fat-free cheeses make this dessert lower in saturated fat and higher in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat than most cheesecakes. Look for hazelnut-chocolate spread near the peanut butter in your supermarket or make your own.
