Nutella Mousse Cake



Today I am bringing you this delicious cake!
Nutella Mousse Cake



Without having to use the oven, this pie is perfect for summer! Normally this cake it's covered with a layer of ganache. I think it is too sweet, so I prefer to add a thin layer of cream and spread a little ganache on the top.

With this recipe you will get a rich mousse cake, which every single bite tastes like heaven!

Enjoy it!
