With the Hazelnut Cream Swirls, I wanted to anticipate the carnival period, to give you a chance to try them. Beautiful, colorful, and above all delicious, they can also be filled with white chocolate cream, milk chocolate, or even every sort of jam possible…in short, any sweet cream will always be the right one. Also, for the glaze, they are delicious even with white chocolate, maybe enriched with pistachio cream…oh my, I just can’t stop!!! During the carnival period, they are never missing from my dessert buffet, which I prepare for family and friends. And then, how much fun I have making these with my niece Matilde, my favorite assistant…sooner or later I’ll have to introduce her to you!!!!
The process for this recipe is so simple and quick that even less experienced cooks will find it a breeze. So, get everything you need ready, and try them immediately…success is guaranteed…aren’t they also very joyful?

Ingredients
- 2 slices rectangular and long sandwich bread

- 1.75 oz dark chocolate

How to prepare Hazelnut Cream Swirls
First, organize your workspace with all the ingredients, so you have everything at hand.
Place the slice of sandwich bread on the cutting board, and with the help of a small rolling pin, try to flatten it without breaking it.
Do the same with the second slice, and then move on to the filling.
Spread a layer of hazelnut cream over the entire surface, then roll it up on itself, forming a sort of spiral cylinder.
Divide the roll into 4 pieces, using a sharp knife, and let them rest in the refrigerator.
In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, or alternatively, microwave it for a few seconds.
At this point, place the bowl on the cutting board, and before it cools down, dip one swirl at a time in the chocolate, let it drain, and sprinkle it with colored sprinkles.
Then place them on a large plate, so they don’t touch each other, and put them in the fridge for a few minutes to harden the glaze.
Serve your Hazelnut Cream Swirls not too cold from the fridge, otherwise, the cream inside will be too solid and less tasty.
Once taken out of the fridge, let them temper, and then take a bite, you will find them crunchy on the outside but with a soft heart.
Tips and Variations
You can keep the swirls in the refrigerator for up to three days, but always remember to eat them at room temperature.
