CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT CREAM PIE

Chocolate-Hazelnut Cream Pie image

We've all seen peanut butter pies, so I kick it up a notch with Nutella pie! This silky dessert is just fabulous. I sometimes add sliced bananas on top of the crust and then spoon the Nutella mixture over them for a Banana Hazelnut Cream Pie. -Anna Smith, North Salt Lake, Utah
