Hazelnut Butter

SteveM_20803

I was recently given 11 lbs. of hazelnut butter. So far I made a hazelnut/chocolate tart. And I folded it in with some hot fresh pasta. I'm considering using it in a stuffing for a chicken breast. But beyond that I am drawing a blank as what to do with the 10.5 lbs.of the stuff the stuff I have left. Since I am always astounded and in awe of the creative minds on this forum, I thought I would throw it out there and see if the community had any suggestion. Any and all input would be greatly welcomed.

Blend it with chocolate ganache for homemade Nutella...

Great to make a hazelnut panna cotta, something I made a few months back.

While making that I also got the idea to make a hazelnut cream to finish off a soup. So just gently simmer cream with hazelnut butter then strain. Great to finish off a squash soup.

Pretty much anywhere you would use peanut butter.

Make a lot of ice cream

sweety says "turn it into praline" - to which I'll add Paris-Brest is one of the most delicious desserts ever and ripe for reinterpretation.

Ok, thanks to all of you. This is fantastic. After reading your suggestions here is what I am planning for this weekend - a big batch of Nutella. An attempt at hazelnut cream, but put it in a whipping siphon and inject it into creampuffs and frost it with the nutella.

I did look at the hazelnut panna cotta - I will be trying that shortly. And while I am not a big peanut butter fan, @Brendan Lee - knowing your other posts it reminded me a of pork satay recipe I have....

@ren, I have never made a curry, but I will look into it.

My wife is the ice cream maker- so that one is going to her.

And @Ted - I am going to have to look up Paris-Brest as you have my curiosity up.

Thanks for all the suggestions it is most appreciated.
