Gianduja Mousse

Gianduja (pronounced -zhahn-DOO-yuh) a sweet chocolate containing about 30% hazelnut paste. It takes its name from Gianduja, a Carnival and marionette character who represents the archetypal Piedmontese, a native of the Italian region where hazelnut confectionery is common. Nutella is a form of gianduja, although the hazelnut accounts for only 13% of the composition.

1 cup nutella
½ cup sour cream
1 cup whipped heavy cream
Blend the sour cream and nutella together. Fold in the heavy cream. Serve with a cookie. Add a tablespoon of amaretto if you have any.
