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!

Baked Bananas


Recipe from Gina's Skinny Recipes

Saturday nights are dessert nights in our house!!!

For each serving:

1 banana
2 teaspoon honey
cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400°.

2. Peel and slice each banana in half lengthwise. Place in a glass dish. Sprinkle with honey and cinnamon.

3. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Serve with ice cream

Results: Obviously, NO ONE had any problems eating this! It was a simple and very, very easy dessert to make. I served with low-fat ice cream. Normally, I'm one of those girls who believe ice cream should be all fat, all the time. But I'm trying. We had Kroger light ice cream, Deluxe Churned Artisan Vanilla Bean and it was DELICIOUS! I never would have thought it was low-fat.

P.S. Sorry for the blurry picture. I was losing my light in the kitchen!
