Can I use nutella to replace the semi sweet chocolate?
EugenieKitchen says
That would be delicious! But Nutella is not firm at room temperature and already very sweet, so it’s better: 1) to cut the amount of sugar in half for the whipped cream and 2) to use only 1/3 cup of Nutella or less. Whip the cream first until firm and fold in the Nutella. :)
