This barely qualifies as a recipe, but I suppose it has more than one ingredient and some instructions, so it'll pass.
I found myself in the kitchen earlier, staring at yet another possible chocolate cake for the book. It wasn't quite what I was after, but it did leave me with a couple of very handy things leftover:
- A couple of tablespoons of Nutella
- ~1/3 cup of whipped cream
aka: deconstructed Nutella mousse
So I constructed it.
To make the mousse, stir the Nutella frantically for a minute to loosen it up a bit. Don't heat it, it just doesn't seem to help. Fold in about a quarter of the whipped cream to lighten the Nutella a bit. Fold in the rest of the whipped cream. Drool for 10 minutes while trying to get the glam shot of the not-so-photogenic brown glop. Eat.
This must be too good! Maybe I'll try it tonight, have 'all' the ingredients ;)

I meant to say this a million years ago, but when I made this in August, I loved it... and my mom loved it even more than I did!
I made a nutella mousse pie for thanksgiving. you take a graham cracker pie crust, fill it halfway with chocolate pudding, and top with the mousse! (It didn't go over too well as there were so many other desserts, but my mom was thrilled to have the overlooked pie for her own)
