Need an easy yet highly effective dessert for taco night or that Cinco de Mayo party your hosting? Boom. Nutella and Marshmallow Churro Donut Panini!
Let me try to explain to you why I won't ever be skinny. Here's how my brain works...
So I was making those Mini Chocolate Churros with PB Dipping Sauce the other day. And then I was thinking... man, it would be great if I could fill churros with something. Oooo, nutella! But I don't know how to pull off that kind of culinary magic (I'm not Dominique Ansel, after all).
Ermagherd! What if I take those Brown Butter Baked Churro Donuts I made last year, stuff 'em with nutella and marshmallow, and then throw 'em in my panini maker. That would make for one heck of a tasty treat. ...see, skinny and I don't mix.
And so, my friends, this Nutella and Marshmallow Churro Donut Panini was born. Thank you brain, for always thinking of sweet goodness instead of things like, oh I don't know... boring stuff like bills, cleaning, and exercising.
Nutella and Marshmallow Churro Donut Panini
- Total Time: 21 minutes
- Yield: 6 Donut Panini
Instructions
- Make Brown Butter Baked Churro Donuts according to recipe.
- Heat your panini maker/sandwich press. Meanwhile, carefully slice donuts in half lengthwise with a serrated knife. Slather on a thin layer of nutella on one half, and marshmallow fluff on the other. Place the halves together and cook on your panini press/sandwich maker for approximately 1 minute, until the sugar on the donut caramelizes a bit and the filling gets all ooey-gooey (yes, that's a technical cooking term). Let cool slightly, then devour.
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Cook Time: 1 min

You just pretty much put everything amazing into one single recipe. I'm on board with that! I'm also going to throw away my scale and be happy about it. Well done, Chris! #WolfpackChurroFactory

Yea, who needs scales anyway? Bring on the sweatpants and mesh shorts (i.e. elastic waistbands) hahaha

What is hilarious is that I saw this picture, read the title and thought, "Whhhhhaaaat?!!? Is Chris the new Dominique Ansel?!". For what it's worth, this is waaaaay better than the cookie shot. And I love me that cookie shot. So much going on here. I am getting light headed just thinking about it. For serious. You're bringing me one on Tues, right?! Okay fine, we can go to Dough instead.
