Nutella Dreams: Irresistible Desserts You’ll Want to Make Tonight
Nutella—the silky, hazelnut-chocolate spread that has inspired breakfast lovers and pastry chefs around the world—needs little introduction. One spoonful sparks instant nostalgia and endless dessert possibilities. At Pastry is Art in North Miami, our bakers lean on Nutella for its rich flavor, velvety texture, and ability to elevate any treat from ordinary to unforgettable. Whether you’re craving a midnight snack or planning a wow-worthy dinner finale, we’ve gathered our favorite quick ideas (and pro tips) so you can enjoy Nutella magic at home—then finish the night by treating yourself to the ultimate Nutella indulgence from our bakery.
The Sweet Allure of Nutella
Nutella’s secret is balance. Roasted hazelnuts provide a gentle earthiness, cocoa adds depth, and a touch of vanilla rounds out the sweetness. Unlike pure chocolate, Nutella stays spreadable at room temperature, making it perfect for swirling, drizzling, or folding into batters on a busy weeknight. No tempering. No water baths. Just instant decadence.
Quick Nutella Desserts You Can Whip Up Tonight
Five-Minute Mug Cake
Stir together 3 tablespoons self-rising flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons milk, and 2 tablespoons Nutella in a large microwave-safe mug. Microwave for 60–70 seconds—just until the top looks set. Finish with a spoonful of warm Nutella and a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts.
Nutella-Stuffed French Toast
Sandwich two slices of brioche with a thick layer of Nutella. Dip in an egg-milk-vanilla mixture, then pan-fry in butter until golden. Dust with powdered sugar and fresh berries for an instant café-style dessert.
No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake Jars
Blend equal parts cream cheese and Nutella until silky. Layer with crushed graham crackers and whipped cream in small jars. Chill 30 minutes. The contrast between crunchy crumbs and airy mousse is pure bliss.
Two-Ingredient Nutella Soufflé
Yes, really: separate 3 eggs. Whisk yolks with ½ cup Nutella until glossy. Beat whites to stiff peaks. Fold gently into the Nutella mixture, spoon into buttered ramekins, and bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for 15 minutes. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
Grilled Nutella Banana Wraps
Spread Nutella on a flour tortilla, add sliced bananas, roll up, and grill in a hot skillet until the exterior crisps and the filling melts. Slice into pinwheels for a shareable treat.
Pro Tips for Working with Nutella
- Warm gently for easy drizzling. Ten seconds in the microwave loosens Nutella without burning the sugars.
- Pair with salt. A pinch of flaky sea salt—or salted butter in your recipe—enhances its nuttiness.
- Add crunch. Chopped hazelnuts, toasted coconut, or even crushed pretzels bring texture contrast.
- Mind the sweetness. Because Nutella is already sweet, reduce added sugar in your batter by 25–30 %.
Why Pastry is Art Loves Nutella
Our pastry team uses Nutella to create croissants oozing with chocolate-hazelnut lava, layered crêpe cakes, and show-stopping Nutella drip cakes. We rely on high-quality hazelnut paste imported from Italy, blending it with Nutella for an intensified flavor profile you won’t find in grocery-store desserts. Every batch is crafted in-house, so your first bite delivers fresh-baked aroma and that unmistakable Nutella creaminess.

Nutella FAQs
What makes our Nutella desserts different from homemade versions?
We use professional-grade equipment, European butter, and an artisanal hazelnut paste blend that amplifies Nutella’s flavor while keeping the texture light and airy—something home kitchens rarely replicate.
Can I customize a Nutella cake for a birthday or special event?
Absolutely. Our cake artists can incorporate Nutella layers, drips, or fillings alongside custom decorations. Give us 48 hours’ notice to design a unique masterpiece that matches your theme and guest count.
Are Nutella desserts at Pastry is Art suitable for people with nut allergies?
Nutella contains hazelnuts, so anyone with a tree-nut allergy should avoid it. We do, however, offer nut-free dessert options—just ask our staff for guidance.
Does Nutella contain gluten?
Nutella itself is gluten-free, but cross-contact may occur in recipes that include flour (like cakes or pastries). Always inform us of dietary restrictions, and we’ll recommend safe choices.
How should I store leftover Nutella pastries?
Most Nutella pastries stay fresh for up to two days in an airtight container at room temperature. For cream-based items like cheesecakes, refrigerate and enjoy within 48 hours for best flavor and texture.
