Money can't buy happiness! Then how would you explain the "jar of happiness" called Nutella? A couple of bucks from our wallets and we can dive right into the pool of bliss and satisfaction... fingers-first. I mean, how else would you test the newly opened jar, right? Nevertheless, as tempting as the prospect of licking the fingers dripping Nutella sounds, we can always go for more. Picture it. Nutella brownies, Nutella infused pancake bombs, Nutella stuffed between the crusty, gooey choco-chip cookies. Wait... where was I going with this?

 

Oh yes! Nutella provides an impressive premise for our favourite movie Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory's sequel... but in a jar. And for a treat that delicious, glorious and divine, I think we can spare a few moments from our bland lives to make it even better. 

 

 

I see you are drooling already? Does that mean you'd walk with me through this list of 10 drool-worthy Nutella recipes? Cool. Let's begin.

 

 

1. No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake

Cheesecakes are hated by no one. But when you whip one with Nutella, it will be impossible to not fall in love with it. Just gather some chocolate biscuits, melted butter, cream cheese, dark chocolate and our star ingredient... Nutella from the market and bam! The Nutella cheesecake is ready to rule the world. Well, in 6 hours. It's a no-bake recipe but it will take some time to set-in. However, it's super easy to make and even yummier to taste.

2. Nutella Pancake Bombs

Inspired by Dorayaki or Japanese pancakes, Shivesh re-created these little bundles of joy by cranking-up our good ol' pancake recipe. Now, even though these pancake bombs are loaded with Nutella, they are still healthy. How? Well, instead of using white flour, they've used wholewheat. Secondly, these are eggless, hence lighter and tastes the same. This Nutella recipe is a yummy bite-sized treat perfect for an evening snack or breakfast in bed. Now, if you wish to make it more indulgent, drizzle some icing sugar and enjoy!

A note though: You'd require an Appam pan to make these.

3. Nutella Fudge Brownies

Yes, you heard it right! Who doesn't love brownies and brownie points? If you consider yourself a brownie-head, then you are going to love this recipe. All you need are three basic ingredients (Nutella spread, eggs, and all-purpose flour) to whip up a batch of these soft and chewy brownies & voila! Also, for those extra brownie points we just talked about, you can always add chocolate to it.

4. Nutella Mug Cake

I seriously love how our favourite cakes & desserts could be made and savoured right out of a mug. Well, this Nutella mug cake is no different. Just tastier. Just add the 3 magic ingredients - all-purpose flour, butter & Nutella, microwave it for 1 whole minute and ta-da... delicious mug cake is ready to be devoured. Although it wouldn't be a bad idea to hold your horses for a second in order to garnish it with some chocolate sprinkles, choco-chips or whipped cream. Makes it even better!
