STRAWBERRY HAZELNUT CROSTINI
Strawberry Hazelnut Crostini is a quick, unique and delectable dessert or snack. Comes together pretty quickly and it is pure indulgence if like me you love hazelnut chocolate spread.
Ingredients
- ½ baguette
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 6 tsp hazelnut spread
- 6 leaves mint fresh
- 1 tbsp confectioners sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180℃.
- Slice the baguette. I cut them into ½ inch thickness and used 6 slices.
- Arrange the slices on a lined baking tray.
- Toast the baguette slices for 4-6 minutes or till the slices are light golden brown on top.
- Remove the toasted slices from the oven.
- Allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes.
- In the meantime wash and wipe the strawberries.
- Cut them into slices or small pieces. Whichever you prefer.
- Spread each toasted slice with the hazelnut spread. I used hazelnut and milk chocolate spread on 3 slices and hazelnut and dark chocolate on the other 3.
- Can spread more or less of the spread according to your preference.
- Arrange the strawberry slices on the hazelnut chocolate spread.
- Add some chopped mint leaves.
- Dust the strawberry hazelnut crostini with some confectioners sugar. This is optional.
Notes
- Use Nutella if you don't get any oil free and sugar free hazelnut chocolate spread.
- Make sure the strawberries are fresh.
- Don't over toast the baguette slices. It will become difficult to bite into them.
