Nutella Pancakes


I love Nutella. It is so yummy. But I never have it. I associate Nutella with Germany and therefore don't think to buy it in Canada. You see, I did a student exchange to Germany when I was in high school and when I was there we ate Nutella all the effing time. What we did was we would dip granny smith apple into Nutella right outta the jar. If you haven't tried that - you'd best start now because you have seriously been missing out. Honestly.
But what's more decadent are these dessert pancakes. You could really knock the socks off your friends with this one. You can make these with shop bought crepes - but I decided just to make my own. Crepes are really quite simple to make. Then you spread them with Nutella and fold. Then cover with a butter and Fra Angelico concoction. But I didn't want to spend the money on another bottle of booze. So I opted to use Kahula. And this was a good substitution. Also, I couldn't find any hazelnuts (though admittedly I didn't look very hard) so I just went without. So bake in the oven for 10 minutes and while you're waiting you whip a little of the booze into some double cream (yes more double cream!!). I thought maybe this was a bit much but honestly the cream is such a compliment to the sweet, nutty, buttery crepes that I say don't go without it.
This dessert is so easy and so delicious. I urge you to try this. Let's face it crepes are not an everyday kinda treat. If you serve these to your guests or even your significant other you'll make them feel special and loved. And isn't that how we want to make the people we prepare food for feel?
