Number Of Ingredients 4

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
1/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons cold water in a small saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin, and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk chocolate-hazelnut spread with 1/4 cup cream; set aside.
  • Heat gelatin mixture very gently over low, stirring just until dissolved; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat remaining 2 cups cream with sugar until soft peaks form. While still beating, pour dissolved gelatin mixture over cream all at once (gently reheat gelatin mixture if it has stiffened).
  • Fold half of whipped cream into chocolate-hazelnut spread mixture to finish the Chocolate-Hazelnut Filling; the remaining whipped cream is the Whipped-Cream Frosting.
