Rocher Chocolate Pastry Cream

Chocolate and hazelnuts are a power couple like Fred and Ginger, Stan and Ollie, and Salt and Pepper. It's a tried, true classic, and for all sweet-tooths out there, a terrific way to make an already delicious dessert even more decadent.

Redolent of a Nutella filling (thanks to the minor presence of Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread as part of your ingredient list), this version of a creme patisserie but with an Italian flair will certainly work its way into your cake filling files for when you want an Italian touch.

A simple hazelnut pastry cream, or a chocolate pastry cream filling alone is a special treat to enjoy, but when paired together, your cakes and cream puffs and other specialty desserts will simply soar with your quick Rocher Pastry cream filling recipe.
