Gianduia Cream

Gianduia cream is a useful preparation for many recipes in the kitchen, maybe to fill a cake, or just to eat with a spoon.
I actually prepared it by chance, because I needed to make a recipe that required this type of filling and it is really very good.
A cream with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and hazelnut flour, but alternatively, you can toast the hazelnuts and blend them.
I actually bought the ready-made hazelnut flour directly, but despite everything, you can slightly see the granules, but still excellent.
Unfortunately, my small blender with which I made dried fruit powders broke, so I either settle for a coarser grain or I take them ready-made.
It is stored in the fridge like all creams, and this one is egg-free, so it lasts longer than classic custard.
Anyway, the cream was very much liked at home and also the cake where I used this filling… so you just have to try!
If you make this recipe, or others on my blog, feel free to send me the photo of your recipe, if you like, I’ll put it on my fb page with your name.
