Everyone loves a good sundae, right? Lately I have been treating myself to mini-sundaes. It's not a great habit, but I am trying to keep it under control. Just tiny ones after my salad for dinner. Who am I kidding, I will always find a reason to justify eating ice cream! 😉
I was sent some hazelnut spread from Nocciolata, Italy's organic chocolate/hazelnut spread. This deliciously smooth spread is gluten-free, kosher and has no palm oil, hydrogenated fat, artificial flavors or artificial colors. Turns out if you heat it up just a little, you can use it as a scrumptious sundae topping. Instead of a hot fudge sundae, it's a hot hazelnut sundae.
For a little crunch I added some Nonni's THINaddictives. I was sent a few boxes of these to try, as well. My favorite is the Banana Dark Chocolate, but I also have Blueberry Oat Almond Thins. THINaddictives are lightly sweet and crunchy snacks. Each individual packet is 100 calories, 4 grams of fat and less than 14 grams of carbohydrates. These tasty almond thins are a great cookie alternative and provide a sweet crunch to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Both of these products added wonderful flavor to my sundae creation. Hazelnut spread has been my weakness for a while now. I pretty much try to put it on everything.
Here's how I made my new favorite sundae
I scooped real vanilla ice cream into a small dish. Then I poured on just a dash of skim milk. This makes the ice cream a little icier and I love it. I took some Nocciolata hazelnut spread and microwaved it just a few seconds. After it was melted a bit, I poured it on top of the ice cream. For some crunch I added in the Banana Dark Chocolate THINaddictives almond thins.

That is a yummy looking sundae you made. My favorite toppings are hot fudge, nuts, sliced strawberries and bananas., crushed chocolate chip and Oreo cookies, and shredded coconut.

Oh my! This looks so good. I would probably just eat it with a spoon or dip cookies in it:)

Looks so yummy and everyone deserves a treat on occasion. I love crushed up peanut butter cups on my sundae. It is beyond awesome!

The Nocciolata hazelnut spread looks delicious! Like a more authentic Nutella. I wouldn’t mind having it on top of ice cream instead of hot fudge. As long as I still get that chocolate-y feel and taste! The Nonni ThinAddictives look like regular biscotti, but probably make for a healthier snack! Thanks for sharing!
