It's from college friend, master cook, and now mother of twin girlies- Shelly
Desserts with fruits are the best!
Featured Ingredients:
Hazelnuts: High in vitamins, minerals and protein of course. More of a buttery tasting nut- super delicious roasted. Make sure you rub off the skins after you roast them a few minutes. O- and chocolate hazelnut spread..a nice way to cheat and pretend you are eating some healthy nut-butter. I compared it to peanut butter and its about the same in calories and fat- just a whole lot higher in sugar. (Totally worth it though- I eat it with a spoon)
Mascarpone- italian cream cheese made with creme fraiche...ummm- Yuuuuuumm. Okay this baby is hiiighh in fat- I won't lie. But hey- it has calcium haha. And this recipe only uses a little dollop!
FYI- Most of the time we use Grill-Pans on the stove. Less hassle. Also- we use Organic Chocolate Hazelnut Spread with no hydrogenated oils instead of Nutella brand.
