Creamy Gianduja Chocolate Frosting
Glossy, creamy, and simply delicious. This is a luscious frosting for Gianduja lovers. I’ve always loved Gianduja chocolate. It’s one of Italy’s great contributions to the world of chocolate with its milk-chocolate sweetness combined with hazelnut paste. I try often to work it in as a substitute for plain milk chocolate whenever I can. I keep a stash of it in my wine chiller for long-term storage and take it out when I need it.
You can bake up a soft chocolate layer cake and slather this spread between the layers and on top and around the sides as a frosting / icing. It’s a great keeper at room temperature, too. It also has great piping consistency, so you can use it to pipe as a layer between tender cookies or to pipe as décor on desserts.
