Whether spread on a piece of toast or shamelessly scooped out with a finger, Nutella is perfection right down to the 48 individual hazelnuts packed into each jar. This addictive spread has a cult-following on Pinterest that touts its versatility in recipes like Nutella s’more bars, Nutella cookies and cream pie, baked Nutella donuts and banana Nutella quesadillas. This summer Carvel debuted its own version of Nutella ice cream available in stores from now until September 30.
Enjoy Northern Virginia restaurant’s contribution to the Nutella craze with desserts milkshakes, soft-serve ice cream, cheesecake, dessert pizzas and more all using Ferrero’s infamous chocolate-hazelnut spread.
