Although I post a lot about sweets, I actually prefer light desserts – which is why I love fluffy and creamy mousse. The best part is that mousse is gluten free and totally yummy.
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup Nutella spread
2 tbsp hot water (not boiling)
2 tsp instant espresso
Dash of Kahlua
6 Chocolate-hazelnut pirouette cookies
Chocolate and chopped hazelnuts for topping
Directions
Dissolve instant espresso in hot water in a medium sized bowl
Add the Nutella and Kahlua, beating until smooth
In a mixer, whip the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks
Gently fold the nutella mixture into the whipped cream until the color is uniform
Divide mousse into serving glasses (I think martini glasses work great!)
Add toasted hazelnuts (to toast, just stick them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes), chocolate shavings, and pirouette cookies for decoration
