Nutella Parfait

I love Nutella, and I use it quite a lot in my recipes. This is a great Nutella parfait which combines Nutella chocolate spread, cream cheese and chocolate streusel on top. It’s easy to make  and will make a great dessert for Valentine’s day.

  • Instead of cream cheese you can use mascarpone cheese in the same amount.
