For the third day of bite sized foods for Kid’s Delight, here is one more nutella recipe. My daughter is a huge fan of nutella and when I read so many bad reviews about nutella, I decided to make it at home. As we don’t get hazel nuts easily, I used peanuts and almonds to make my homemade nutella and it was such a huge hit with my daughter. I have been using nutella in many recipes apart from using it as a spread. And this home made spread keeps good even for two months at room temperature.
I am having a tough time staying away from Paneer based sweets after the month long Indian Milk Sweets Marathon (click for recipes). After the Nutella cheese cake cups, here is one more recipe which uses nutella and paneer. I decided to make a fusion sweet using malai paneer and nutella. I added a little condensed milk to the sweet for some extra sweetness. But if you like it mild, then skip adding condensed milk. Usually sandesh is tough to get right. Over cooking might result in grainy sandesh, but this one is easier. As there is chocolate from nutella, it doesn’t dry out easily and makes a really flavourful sandesh. My daughter and her friends loved them so much.
Makes 9 Sandesh
Ingredients:
Malai Paneer – 100 gm
Nutella – 50 gm
Sweetened Condensed Milk – 1 tbs
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
Milk – 2 tbs
Pistachios and Nutella For Garnish
Procedure:
In a pan take paneer, nutella, condensed milk, milk and vanilla.
Using a spatula mash them up well.
Heat on low flame and you can see that the chocolate in nutella will melt and the mixture will become slightly thin.
Keep on cooking until the mix starts leaving sides.
Remove from flame and allow to cool completely.
With the help of a spoon, take small portions and shape into balls.
Place them on plate and refrigerate until it is easier to handle.
Shape them into pedas and make a small impression in the centre.
Add some nutella inside and top with pisatchios.
Refrigerate until serving.
Use my Soft Malai Paneer to make this Sandesh
This is my Homemade Nutella Recipe. It is so easy to make and is so good.

Hello ka
What mixie did u use to grind the nuts?I tried once but it was way more grainier than urs.
I use my Philips mixer grinder. Keep on running. If it gets hot. Allow some time to cool it down and run the mixer again. It takes a while to get the creamy texture.
Super rich dessert, a special treat for chocoholics. Addition of paneer is very interesting.
Just cant take my eyes from those delicious nutella sandesh, prefect for chocoholics like me. Lovely sweet.
I must try making Nutella at home, my kids love it and normally I hide the bottle so that they don’t eat it. The sandesh looks lovely, perfect actually…
This is really a sinful one to enjoy anytime Gayathri..I think even after a month of indian sweets, we can expect more from you..:)
OMG! After the month long drool worthy desserts, the two of this weeks desserts ? wow wow!! This looks too good to pass.
This looks like kandi peda…my favorite…a must try and I am sure the kids will definitely love it.
Nutella sandesh looks awesome and will look into that home made nutella. Sounds healthier version than the store bought ones. This sandesh must be a treat to all chocolate lovers.
Real treat for nutella lovers,would like to gobble few of those bite sized sandesh..
Oh man those Nutella Sandesh look so inviting and tempting. I wish I could pop a couple in my mouth right now. Love the idea of adding Nutella here – great fusion dessert.
Oh yea, after I read about nutella, I stopped buying it and home made one is definitely healthier and tastier! These nutella sandesh looks absolutely delectable and no wonder the kids loved them!
