Gianduja Budino Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Gianduja Base

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together over medium heat until the mixture starts to thicken.

  2. 2

    Add Chocolate and Hazelnut Butter

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and hazelnut butter. Stir until completely melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

  5. 5

    Prepare Hazelnut Crumble

    While the budino is setting, prepare the hazelnut crumble. Mix the toasted and chopped hazelnuts with a little bit of sugar and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the budino is set, remove from refrigerator, top with hazelnut crumble, and serve chilled.
