Nutella Mousse

No counting calories on this one, I mean it! This is a dessert that is meant to be enjoyed and experienced free of guilt so for anyone counting calories or dieting or whatever this is NOT the time to make this dessert - unless you have a 'free night' or you just want to cheat lol. Then it is the PERFECT recipe for you! Once again this recipe comes to us right from our favorite website...drum roll please...Pinterest! (Are you hooked on this website yet??) The woman's blog where the recipe originated from was called "Sweet Tooth" and boy is that accurate. (http://www.ericasweettooth.com/2009/12/chocolate-hazelnut-mousse.html). I will say that Zach made this one because I was exhausted after preparing the zucchini sticks, honey mustard and caramelized onion dips, and honey mustard baked chicken on Sunday night. (I will post those recipes tomorrow night, promise!) It was the perfect addition to our dinner but we were all stuffed to the brim! My only tip is that perhaps instead of only using 3 serving glasses/dishes perhaps aim for 6 - it will be less guilt for those 'cheating' on their diets haha. Ok, let's whip this up...

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup Nutella spread
2 tbsp hot water (not boiling)
2 tsp instant espresso
Dash of Baileys Irish Cream (Mint flavored)

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

That's right...we shaved semi-sweet chocolate on top of this already decadent mousse 

and topped it off with two Milano cookies - Heaven in a Glass!
