Chocolate Nutella Ice Box Cake


Nutella is wonderfully delicious!  As Rachael Ray would say "yummo"!   On a recent visit to Costco, I found a package of two large containers of Nutella.  So my new cooking project is to find yummy recipes that use this decadent chocolate hazelnut spread.  


Serves 12
3 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounces lower fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 box (14 ounces) chocolate graham crackers
1 small jar (14 ounces) Nutella

Whip cream, vanilla, and sugar until soft peaks form. Slowly add in cream cheese until well blended.

Spread Nutella on graham crackers in a thin layer.

Place a layer of crackers, Nutella side up in 9 x 13 inch pan, cutting crackers if necessary to fit in a single layer. Spread 2/3 cup of whipped cream mixture on top of crackers.

Repeat until all crackers and cream are used up, ending with whipped cream on top.  Sprinkle with some chocolate graham cracker crumbs, shaved chocolate, or chocolate jimmies for garnish.

Place in refrigerator for at least 8 hours over overnight.  The crackers will become soft & “cakey”.  Cut into squares and serve immediately.
