Nutella Sundaes

To finish up this year's World Nutella Day recipes, here is one more treat. I didn't actually make this one for World Nutella Day, but it is something I made recently, eyeing that full jar of nutella in my cupboard and the full container of vanilla ice cream in the freezer. It may be the middle of winter, but following a long, busy day of moving, I was warm, thirsty, and craving a cool, chocolaty treat. These are simple sundaes - mostly vanilla ice cream topped with nutella as a chocolate sauce. I find nutella spread is fairly thin in order to allow spreading on soft breads. On the contrary, nutella sold in countries such as Germany, France, and Spain is slightly more solid, since hard, crusty bread is more prevalent in these regions. The tastes are relatively the same. If desired, you can microwave the nutella briefly to thin it out a bit and make it more of a hot fudge sauce.

 This sundae also has some color from some sprinkles, creating the 'funfetti' effect. 
This bottom sundae is more my style - vanilla ice cream with a chocolate brownie with chocolate ganache, along with nutella piled on top of that. If only the ice cream was chocolate (or death by chocolate, or even nutella) as well...
