Hi All! So I know I say it all the time, but…..I don’t have a sweet tooth. I really wish I had one, but I just don’t. I love making sweets, but could totally care less about eating them. Maybe it’s because my mom was never a “baker” so to say while my sister and I grew up. Maybe it’s because sometimes my parents and I tend to order a few appetizers to share after a big meal instead of a dessert or two to split (true story). Or maybe it’s just the way I was hardwired, I don’t know. In my mind a piece of cake will never look as appetizing as a cheeseburger, I’ll always walk away from a cream puff, to indulge in a pate and cheese plate and saying no to ice cream is no big, while short-ribs? Impossible.
There’s one exception to this….Nutella. What is it about this stuff that get people (including me) so excited? I think it’s the chocolate-hazelnut flavors and the smooth, rich texture. I also think it’s because it reminds me of “Yan-Yans”. PLEASE tell me somebody know what I’m talking about? Those toasty, sort of sweet, bready sticks that are served along side a small amount of chocolate or strawberry…not even sauce but frosting! These things are awesome…but I digress.
Back to Nutella…it’s great; today we have an awesome and super simple salted Nutella tart recipe for you all. I added a touch of sea salt and topped it with a light whipped cream to offset the super decadent Nutella. Oh and lets not forget the super buttery and nutty crust! I used almonds because it’s what I had on hand, but you could replace I with hazelnuts if you prefer. Enjoy!
