- 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.

- Heat cream for ganache. Pour over chocolate chips and chocolate hazelnut spread. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
