Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour 1 cup Nutella into a medium mixing bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Pour 0.25 cup heavy cream or whole milk into the same bowl with the Nutella.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 tablespoon honey and 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk all ingredients together in the bowl using a wire whisk in steady circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce is smooth and no streaks of Nutella remain, like flowing chocolate.

  5. Step 5

    If the sauce is too thick to dip easily, whisk in 1 additional tablespoon of cream at a time until it reaches your desired pouring consistency.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl and place it in the center of a platter surrounded by dipping items like strawberries, pretzels, banana slices, or marshmallows.

Tools you’ll need

  • medium mixing bowl
