Do you like Nutella?
Do you like yogurt?
Well, I have invented an amazing concoction,
and I think it just may be the easiest Nutella recipe ever!
Actually, Nutella on a spoon may be the simplest recipe,

but just take it one step further...
and mix that spoonful of Nutella into some plain yogurt,
and mix that spoonful of Nutella into some plain yogurt,
and you have got custom-made
Nutella-flavored yogurt!
I thought you might need to see the photos
for the step-by-step preparation...
This is very complicated stuff!
I refuse to google "Nutella Yogurt",
or look on Pinterest,
because I don't want to see
that someone else has already thought of this.
When I come up with a great recipe,
I think it's only fair that I get to bask in the glory
of thinking I'm a culinary genius...
even if it's only in my own mind, lol.

Oh my, my, my, this is tasty!
I think you know by now
that I happen to like my Nutella.
(no, that is not the inside of my cabinet).
My friend, Beth, over at
Goodness, Gracious, Living
emailed me a couple of months ago
to ask if I knew about the Nutella Bar in New York City.
Well, no, in fact, I did not!
This called for an investigation,
so a couple of months ago,
when I had some time to kill in Manhattan,
I headed downtown to Eataly...
an enormous upscale Italian food market...
where the Nutella Bar is housed.
It even has its own entrance.
I hadn't been to Eataly,
so this turned out to be an extra-fun excursion.

you should absolutely add this
to your list of things to do in NYC.
But I was on a mission,
and headed straight through,
ignoring stands of fresh mozzarella,
pasta and panini bars, and olive oil displays,
until I found what I came for.
Let's just say that wall-to-wall Nutella
can make a girl weak in the knees.
I was about to order something crazy-fattening,
like a brioche, or crepe with Nutella...
but I pulled myself together
and settled for some crusty bread with a shmear.*
(*Translation: a "shmear" is NYC deli lingo meaning "spread of,"
usually in reference to cream cheese on a bagel.
"I'll have an 'everything' bagel with a shmear, please.")
Everyone seemed to be enjoying
their Nutella snacks.
Can't you tell by the looks on their faces, lol?
No, they are not extras in a horror movie,
to your list of things to do in NYC.

No, they are not extras in a horror movie,
but I had to blur them out, since I didn't ask everyone there
if they wanted their mugs plastered all over my blog.
The Nutella Bar is a fun NYC destination,
but it's nice to know
that I need only go to my local supermarket
for a Nutella fix.

Nutella would probably taste good
on an old shoe,
but my current fave is to mix it in yogurt.

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteNYC has such amazing places to eat and Eataly, (such a creative name!), is surely one of them. I would have had something semi-decadent, like a Nutella crepe, (or two, which I, myself, have mastered). Your Nutella yoghurt recipe looks very tasty, and I'm willing to try it, seeing that I am a recent yoghurt enthusiast, (sounds intriguing, but actually, quite foolish of me, having lived in the world's #1 producers of deliciously healthy yoghurt, which, btw, I see you consume, too, having used our FAGE TOTAL for your culinary concoction!).
Ciao, bella!
Poppy
It took all of my self control to not order something more decadent! (Plus I had just eaten lunch!). I'm happy that you have become a yogurt convert! And, I only eat Greek yogurt...Fage is my fave! Give it a try with the Nutella, Poppy...yum!
DeleteI hadn't given nutella a try, but after seeing it has it's own bar, I HAVE to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll start with your creation, sounds easy and yummy, too!
Hugs,
Patti
Well, Patti, I think it's time to give it a try! It's a nice treat every now and then, and relatively speaking, there are worse things to eat than one spoonful in fat free yogurt! Hope you like it!
DeleteI love Nutella and haven't had any in months. May have to try some in yogurt. My oh my that Nutella bar is unreal.
ReplyDeleteI know you have been very careful about what you've been eating, but if you ever feel that you need a small treat, one spoon of Nutella isn't all that bad. With fat free yogurt, it's filling and satisfies my sweet tooth!
DeleteOh my, a whole Nutella bar? Wow. And I would have never thought to put Nutella in yogurt so I will continue to be WOW-ed by your creativity!
ReplyDeleteIt was quite something, Michelle, as was the entire Eataly space. Nutella in plain yogurt is surprisingly satisfying when I have a sweet tooth!
DeleteOkay, I have to try that!! Of course it will be almond "yogurt" but I am sure it will taste as good as this looks! And the shmear, oy vey!! Thanks for the credit and the link :-)))
ReplyDeleteThanks again for letting me know about the Nutella Bar, Beth! And enjoy the "yogurt!"
DeleteIt's very satisfying, Crystelle!
ReplyDeleteI know this is going to sound like an odd question, but what does nutella taste like? I've never tried it. I've always thought it was a hazelnut chocolate blend. I'm not a fan of hazelnut. I like your idea of mixing it with yogurt though.
ReplyDeleteNot odd at all, Kelly. I was just at my very good friend's house, who told me she never had it, either, and basically asked the same question. It is a hazelnut chocolate blend, but the chocolate is the dominant flavor. It's the texture of creamy peanut butter. As much as I do like it, I don't eat it all that often, just as a treat once in a while. What the heck, give it a try! It's in the peanut butter aisle. You can always toss it in the garbage, but I bet your boys will love it! It's great on toast, waffles, bananas, ice cream, apples, and of course, a spoon!
DeleteI love stirring jam into plain Greek yogurt, but haven't tried Nutella. Thanks. I shared on G+
ReplyDeleteTry it, Julie! It's a really satisfying treat!
DeleteOMG..A NUTELLA BAR! I would die in there eating it all! I will have to try your recipe..it sounds like HEAVEN to me! I would love for you to share at Party in Your PJs...the more nutella recipes that better!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thecookiepuzzle.com/2014/07/party-in-your-pjs-14.html
i know, it was like heaven! I'm going to hop on over to your party!
DeleteNutella heaven right here!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, and that Nutella Bar was insane!
DeleteWow. That place looks like fun. I forgot about shmear! How funny. You make me laugh with the not checking Pinterest. I think that same thing.
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing, Katie! I want to go back and eat at some of the cafes inside Eataly.
DeleteThis made me hungry! I can't believe I never noticed the Nutella bar at eatery! I've been twice. Maybe it's a recent addition?
ReplyDeleteI think it is fairly new, Doreen. Maybe a few months?
DeleteAppears that you went to Nutella Heaven and back ! :)
ReplyDeleteI surely did, Deb, and I plan to make a return trip!
DeleteDear Amy, I always enjoy reading your posts. You are so engaging and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of a Nutella Bar but sounds good to me. I will put Eataly on the list of destinations; it gets longer and longer.....
Have a beautiful weekend. Blessings dear. Catherine
Thank you so much, Catherine...your kind words mean the world to me! Definitely go to Eataly!
DeleteI found Nutella when I was in Paris a couple of years ago. I wish I had never known it existed. I have tried to avoid it every since, of course, after I had emptied several jars. It is "heaven in a jar", but I can't afford the calories or the sugar. I would have to check out the Nutella bar if I made it to Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat it often, for the reasons you mentioned, Betty, but every now and then it makes for a nice treat! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYum yum yum! I'm going to try this as soon as I get to my hotel/home in Germany...
ReplyDeleteYes, very worthy of the triple Yum status!
DeleteUh---YUMMM! I'm totally going to make this ever simple recipe. I LOVE nutella...heavenly! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree, Michele, heavenly! It's a great treat, and because it's yogurt, it makes me feel less guilty :)
DeleteThanks for coming and linking up at #The Weekend Social. Please be sure to come back next week starting Thursdays at 9PM EST on Kitchen Dreaming.com ! I hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteDina@KitchenDreaming
Thanks for hosting the parties, Dina! And thanks for the visit :)
DeleteThat's an impressive store. You have a Nutella pumpkin pie? That sounds fantastic. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home.
ReplyDeleteOh, the pumpkin pie was amazing! Thanks for hosting HSH!
DeleteSimple is great! And really, how can you go wrong with Nutella? This looks totally fabulous, and if you peruse Pinterest, you'll find it - I'm pinning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Wake Up Wednesday.
Thanks for pinning it, Karen! I'm all for simple :)
