Directions

Combine the heavy cream and espresso granules in a small mixing bowl. Stir until dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Add the espresso mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer, along with the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Mix with the whisk attachment on medium for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and continue beating until very soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Garnish with the toasted hazelnuts and whipped cream and serve.

Cook's Note: I also often garnish this with some sliced bananas for my nephews.

    to Ceruleanveritas, to me it seems like you either over whipped it by having your speed to high. the recipe is a good one- try having the speed on low at first and then to the next level, when incorporating the other ingredients put it back to low. for a soft peak you want to take the whisk and lift it out of the bowl - if the mousse doesnt fall off and theres a droop then thats a soft peak. personally i would prefer and thicker soft peak to imitate ice cream hope this helped

    I tried making this yesterday and it didn't turn out well for me and was hoping maybe someone could explain what happened.

    Basically my mousse "separated" and looked "grainy" like a very fine curd brown cottage cheese, not a smooth and creamy treat.

    Ultimately after trying to "fix" the problem, by adding more and more cream, I ended up using about a pint, half a quart of cream(all I had and finally ended up throwing it all away very frustrated and disappointed.

    I bought a big container of Nutella but didn't like it because it was too thick so was looking for a way to use it up. I wanted to make an ultra light mousse to top my brownies to go along with my whipped cream. Anyway, after reading some reviews and going along with my intuition, I decided to whip some of the heavy cream(3/4 cup separately from the Nutella and thin the Nutella out a bit with the remaining 1/4 cup of cream and whip it separately then combine the two, carefully.

    Doubtful that I will try again.
