ALL RECIPES

Grilled Nutella Pound Cake Sandwiches

  • Pair with Port
Primary Ingredients

1 store-bought pound cake or your favorite recipe 

½ cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate 

¼ cup Nutella 

3 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1 pint of cherry ice cream 

Primary Technique
  1. Slice pound cake crosswise into eight 1-inch thick pieces. Divide chocolate into 4  equal portions and mound on 4 of the slices. Spread Nutella over the other 4 slices of pound cake and form a sandwich. Press to seal. 
  2. Melt butter in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat and cook until starting to brown. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook until golden brown. Flip over and repeat the process.  
  3. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool slightly and cut in half on the diagonal. Top with your favorite cherry ice cream, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and enjoy.
