Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse

Ingredients

1/2 cup Nutella spread

2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)

Chocolate and chopped hazelnuts for topping

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- martini glasses work great! Add toasted hazelnuts, chocolate shavings, and pirouette cookies for decoration

To toast hazelnuts, just stick them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
