Chocolate-Hazelnut Panini Sundaes


Serves 4
Prep time: 4 minutes, cooking time: 5 minutes

4 slices thin-sliced white bread
1/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella), divided
1 tablespoon chopped toasted hazelnuts
Butter-flavored cooking spray
1 cup light ice cream, vanilla
2 teaspoons chopped toasted hazelnuts

1. Preheat panini grill. (Note: I don't have a panini grill, so I used a regular skillet and made these like grilled cheese sandwiches.)

2. Trim crust from bread slices. Spread 2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread evenly over 2 bread slices. Sprinkle evenly with nuts. Top with remaining 2 bread slices. Coat both sides of sandwiches with cooking spray. Place sandwiches on panini grill; cook 1 & 1/2 minutes or until golden. Cut each sandwich diagonally into 2 triangles.

3. Place 1 panini triangle on each of 4 small plates. top each triangle with 1/4 cup ice cream.

4. Place remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 25 seconds or until warm; drizzle 1-1/2 teaspoons over each scoop of ice cream. Garnish with 1/2 teaspoon hazelnuts, if desired.

Results: I don't really have to talk you into making this, do I? My picture isn't that great, but trust me, these were outstanding!
