Looking for delicious? Look no further than an Espresso Moroccino, the new treat I experienced yesterday afternoon for the first time. It’s crazy deliciousness threw me on a romantic and indulgent search for other perfect places to hide the secret ingredient: Nutella.

Espresso Moroccino-That’s a shot of espresso, poured into a small cup filled with a spoon of Nutella, and some heavy whipped cream to finish it off. Eaten with a little spoon, this is a deadly kind of delicious. If you haven’t got an espresso machine at home (cause they cost a fortune!), any creperie style café should be able to fix one up for you, such as La Bretagne, or Café Crepe, or another espresso equipped resto that might have a tub of Nutella around. You’ve seriously gotta try it!

Nutella Iced Coffee– Use a blender to make this icy-hot summer drink; it’s a spoon or two of Nutella with some fresh brewed coffee, a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or ice), and a dash of milk. Now blend that shit together! The Nutella adds a rich, chocolatey flavor and sweetens up a strong bean just enough for coffee to taste like dessert.

The Nutty Shake– A great drink for after a workout, this shake is made by blending: 1 cup of low-fat milk and 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, a spoon of crunchy peanut butter, a scoop of chocolate whey protein (if you’ve got it), 1 cup of ice, a sprinkling of rolled oats and two spoons of Nutella. Enjoy it while stretching and limbering up your muscles for the final Nutella treat!

But first! The Nutella S’Morewich– Turn on that broiler or toaster oven and get ready for the sweetest sandwich on the planet. It’s a nice white baguette sliced in half and slathered with a bit of butter, then a healthy coating of Nutella. You could add a little peanut butter too if you like, but the key is the marshmallows on top. Stick it under a broiler, open faced, until the marshmallows melt and get a little golden, then be prepared to die of gooey pleasure.

Another BIG reason we love Nutella is the smooth texture. And unlike whipped cream, Nutella doesn’t leave a sticky residue on skin – so don’t be afraid to get creative with your use of the blessed bin of hazelnut chocolate cream! It could be just the start you need to a fun night in *wink!
