Nutella Burger
From POPSUGAR Food
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Nutella
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 sugared doughnuts, sliced in half
1 kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced
4 strawberries, thinly sliced
1 mango, thinly sliced
Directions
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the Nutella and powdered sugar until smooth, thickened, and a little stiff. Line a half sheet pan with waxed paper. Arrange two ring molds or round cookie cutters on the half sheet pan and divide the Nutella between the two molds, spreading it smooth. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until firm.
- To assemble the burger, layer in this order: the bottom doughnut "bun," kiwi slices, strawberry slices, Nutella patty, mango slices, and the top doughnut "bun."
