Ingredients

1/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
12 (1/2-inch) thick slices pound cake (from 1 (10.75-ounce) loaf
6 fresh strawberries, hulled and very thinly sliced
Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Heat a panini grill to medium according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread over 1 side of all of the pound cake slices. Arrange the sliced strawberries over 6 cake slices. Cover with the remaining cake slices, chocolate side down.

Spray panini grill with nonstick spray and grill each panino until the pound cake is crisp and golden and the fillings are warm, about 2 minutes. Cut each panino in half and serve.

Delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my new favorite dessert! Its so delicous, and the idea of grilling it works great! I make them whenever we have... company, and everyone loves them! I also added Giada's citrus whipped cream to them and it added a great cirtus flavor to the dessert.Read more

I made these for my son's christening. They were loved by EVERYONE!!! My MIL, an excellent Itallian cook, raved and praised... them! It was such a hectic day, I didn't grill them and left the top layer off and they were still great.Read more

Really elegant and different dessert
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought the panini itself was fantastic but needed a cool whipped topping to refresh each bite. I also made the pound cake... from a box instead of buying it pre-made and it worked great. Read more

Everyone loved them
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these to try the other might and they are one of the best easy desserts!!! There are very sweet though, which the... kids love. I tried making some on leftover ciabatta bread and they were even better and easier to handle. I also use Nutella for smores when we go camping. You do not have to worry about melted candy bars in the summer, just spread and go.Read more

Soooo good and sooo easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This has got to be one of the easiest desserts to make. I made it for my family and they loved it. I've always loved... poundcake and the mix of nutella, strawberries, and grilling it made it so much better. I also added thinly sliced bananas to a few of the sandwiches and they turned out great!
