Nutella Coffee Delight Recipes
Introduced in the Piemonte region of Northwestern Italy in 1964, Nutella is a sweet hazelnut cocoa spread that has grown more and more popular over the years — not only in Italy but also, in the United States, Brazil, New Zealand, India, and many other countries around the world. Nutella, which is manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero, is so popular that Poste Italiane, Italy’s postal service, issued a Nutella stamp in 2014 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Nutella, which uses palm oil, is consumed on everything from pancakes to croissants to French toast to sweet crepes, and its popularity is not limited to bread and pastries: Nutella also tastes great in a wide range of coffee beverages.
The easiest, quickest, and most convenient way to prepare a Nutella coffee drink is to simply add Nutella to black coffee, but there are many other Nutella coffee options as well. Here are some delicious Nutella coffee recipes.
