Vegetarian S'mores with Nutella

Blogging Marathon# 55: Week 2/ Day 2

Theme: Nutella Galore

Dish: Vegetarian S'mores with Nutella

This is probably the most loved theme I have ever chosen. My kids are beyond excited with everything that they got to eat in the name of blogging marathon :-)

For the 2nd day, I made a quick and easy vegetarian S'mores. Traditional s'mores are made with graham crackers, roasted marshmallows and melted chocolate. But my vegetarian version is made with graham crackers, banana, nutella and whipped cream.

I cannot take credit for the idea of this vegetarian s'mores. It's from one of my son's shows and he told me right after he watched the show that the girl made s'mores with banana instead of marshmallow because she ran out of the latter. So that's how these came about.
I saw a yummy pic of s'mores on Foodgawker with whipped cream and strawberries. I didn't have any strawberries, so used bananas instead. I think banana and nutella is probably one of the best combinations.

These s'mores are quick and easy to make and don't have any roasting involved. They are perfect as an afternoon snack or as an after-dinner treat.

Ingredients: Serves 2

Graham crackers - 2, broken in half
Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread) - 1tbsp, divided
Heavy Cream - ¼cup (optional)
Banana - ½ of a medium, sliced (or Strawberries)

Method:

• Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled until ready to use.
• Spread Nutella on one of the graham crackers and top with the sliced bananas. On the other graham cracker spread the whipped cream (if using) and place it on top of the bananas. Serve immediately!!
