Nutella Hazelnut Pots de Creme.
Any excuse to make a decadent dessert and I’m in. Valentine’s Day no exception. As much as I love to have someone cook for me, I have to admit I don’t like to venture out for a romantic meal on Valentine’s Day. Why? Because in my experience, restaurants are over-crowded, over-priced and the service is typically slow on the love-iest dove-iest night of the year.
Plus I can make a very special meal at home for a fraction of the price. THEN you can plan on a date night the following week when it’s safe to exit the house again. Win. Win.
My go to romantic dinner is typically a nice big fat juicy STEAK (like this STEAK WITH SAUTEED MUSHROOMS & CHIANTI CARAMEL SAUCE) and/or something from the sea (like these SCALLOPS COQUILLES ST. JAQUES ) followed up by a decadent dessert.
Like these Nutella hazelnut pots de creme. French for pot of cream/custard. I translate it to wicked good. And made in the blender means easy peasy. This recipe is incredibly rich so the small portion is perfect.
You can top it with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, berries and nuts for a little extra pizzazz. Even better? You can make it the day before and have them at the ready. More time to put on lip gloss and fix your hair. A girl has to look good.
These Weck Jars are perfect for not only presentation but also for serving, they come with glass lids so storing them in the refrigerator is extra convenient.
Whatever you’re doing this Valentine’s I hope you’re surrounded by those you hold near and dear, along with a spoon and these Nutella hazelnut pots de creme.

Where are the ingredients? The ad is blocking it. Even when you try and print there are no ingredients.
Paula says
Hi Abby, that should be fixed now. Thanks so much for letting me know there was a glitch.
Mark says
I tried this recipe as specified and the pots de creme never set up. I then looked at other recipes and they pretty much all call for cooking the individual servings in a water bath in the oven. Was there supposed to be an addition step in the oven after mixing the creams with the egg mixture?
