Served this mousse on top of crumbled up pecan brownies in mini plastic martini glasses. I put the mousse in a pastry bag and piped it on top of the crumbled brownie. It was the hit of the party. Everyone was raving about it, and it was so easy to make (I will mention that the hazelnut flavor was lost a little bit when combined with the brownie, but the texture combination was amazing). I will be serving this again for sure.

SO good!!!! I left out the granules because we are not coffee drinkers therefore we didn't have any at home. I easily doubled the recipe and divided into 6 servings. It is a bit messy when you first begin mixing so beware!

This is AWESOME!! I could easily eat it all by myself, and I only wish I could give this one more stars!! This is incredibly easy, and tastes gourmet. I made this twice and found that I liked the texture a bit better when I beat it to stiffer peaks versus soft peaks. I actually turned this one into a trifle, alternating layers of chocolate cake, nutella mouse, and whipped cream. I then topped it with shaved chocolate. The trifle will now be my go-to passing dessert for parties. Thanks so much!!!
