Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Nutella hazelnut spread

1 cup Dark Chocolate Almond Milk (chocolate soy milk or chocolate milk may be substituted)*

3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons sweetened ground cocoa (or hot chocolate powder may be substituted)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)**

6 Plastic cups

Approx. 2 ½ Cups Heavy Whipping Cream, Whipped

Sweetened ground cocoa (or hot chocolate powder) to sprinkle as garnish

Chocolate Sprinkles (Jimmies) for garnish

(makes approximately 6, one cup servings)

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Nutella and the whipping cream. Using a blender, mix until combined. Add the chocolate milk and the sweetened ground cocoa and mix until combined. If desired, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon for an extra flavorful treat. Pour into the plastic cups and fill half way. Place cup in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze overnight. (I like the freezer bags because you can label them and if the cups were to tip over, the bag would contain the mess.)

About 15 minutes before serving, pipe the whipping cream into the remaining space of the cup and fill. Lightly shake sweetened cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles on top to garnish. Enjoy. FYI - It tastes best if the whipping cream is mixed in with the chocolate as it is being enjoyed.

This may be garnished ahead of time. Just let the cups sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

* If you don’t have chocolate milk of any kind, you can use milk and then extra sweetened ground cocoa.

**For a fabulous flavor twist, use the optional cinnamon in the recipe and enjoy an exciting taste sensation.
