Chocolate and Hazelnut is a sublime match for Christmas or any time of year - we all know that!

Although I do love our Nutella and Santa often spoils us with a little jar of our very own in our Christmas stockings each year. I'll let you in on a secret... I know another place to go for amazing recipes to cure that Chocolate & Hazelnut fix.

It just happens this place is home to a great friend of mine -

How does her Spiced Chocolate & Hazelnut Meringue Cake grab you?

or Torta Gianduja - Chocolate, Orange and Roasted Hazelnut cake

or perhaps you would prefer go 1 step further and indulge in some utterly decadent Baked Chocolate Cheesecake with Hazelnut Ganache

Phew! Are you feeling the heat after viewing these divine cakes?
I sure am!

I'm going to cool off with Baci Ice cream with Brittle Hazelnut Nougat
