Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream or gelato
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
8 pieces biscotti
4 shots espresso, for serving

Directions

To make the sandwiches, take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften. Cover 1 side of each piece of biscotti with hazelnut spread. Place the biscotti in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up. Take out of the freezer and quickly spread 1/4 cup of ice cream on the hazelnut side of 4 of the biscotti and top with another biscotti, spread side against the ice cream. Place the biscotti ice cream sandwiches back in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, brew 4 shots of espresso. Pour the espresso and serve with the biscotti-gelato sandwiches alongside.

Delicious with some changes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Oh God! Any recipe for a dessert using nutella is a good one in my book. I decided against the sandwich idea b/c i can't find... flat biscotti. I took two biscotti and put them side by side on the plate as a base. I used coffee ice cream instead and added some water and espresso powder to the nutella. It sounds odd, but it was really great.

WHEN I WAS WATCHING HER DO THIS RECIPE,AND WHEN SHE PUT IT TOGETHER THE BISCOTTI LOOKED SO SOFT,I DIDNT SEEM LIKE IT WAS... HARD,SO MAYBE IF I CAME UP WITH A VERSION OF A NICE SWEET BREAD,I COULD TOAST IT ON THE PANNI GRILL,THEN SPREAD IT WITH THE NUTELLA,I THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT BEST.Read more
