2. Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious hazelnut cream swirl:

• 1 cup roasted hazelnuts
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder

3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Velvety Hazelnut Cream Swirl:

Step 1: Create Hazelnut Cream

Start by blending the roasted hazelnuts and sugar. This combination creates the base for your scented hazelnut cream. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a nut butter. The finer you grind the hazelnuts, the smoother your cream will be. For a delightful twist, consider adding a hint of caramel – just like in these amazing Caramel Recipes.

Step 2: Mix with Butter

Next, combine the hazelnut cream with softened butter. The rich texture from the butter enhances the creaminess of the hazelnut cream and creates a luxurious mixture. Mix well until smooth and well blended. Ensure the butter is fully incorporated to avoid a grainy texture. If you’re a fan of creamy textures, you might also enjoy our Power Peanut Butter Balls.

Step 3: Incorporate Whipped Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the hazelnut mixture into the whipped cream, folding gently to keep the airiness intact. This step is crucial for achieving a light, fluffy texture that will melt in your mouth. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream. Looking for more breakfast ideas?
