These chocolate and hazelnut flavored brownies are great just the way they are baked in a regular pan, but what a great idea to make it for Valentine's Day in a heart-shaped pan, it was just perfect!
These were perfect in consistency and decorated with a drizzle of Frangelico hot fudge sauce and a Strawberry or Cherry dipped in fudge oo la la!
We are big Nutella fans here and since I was really pressed for time and hardly ever use my heart pan, this batter was perfect for it!
I use Nutella on dipped bananas, delicious Nutella drizzled on rice krispie treats, and we love this Nutella Mousse Tart, they are all so addicting!
I even give you instructions below how to cut a heart shape brownie cake if you don't have one!
You will also have a recipe for making a decadent hot fudge sauce to drizzle over the top that has Frangelico in it.
The Strawberry was an afterthought but it sure was a delicious surprise ending to a wonderful evening.
Scroll down to print and see this super simple way to a delicious brownie made with just 2 ingredients!
No Heart Pan No Problem!
Simple to make a heart-shaped brownie cake that will be perfect!
Bake a small round cake, then a square cake.
Cut the round cake in half evenly.
Angle the square to look like a diamond shape point up.
Add the cut round on the sides of the point, that's it!
The only difference is you will have to frost this cake with a thick fudge frosting instead of drizzle with hot fudge to hide the lines.
This recipe makes one 8 x 8 brownie square pan if you want to make this heart you will need mini 4-inch pans in round and square or make a double batch for a larger heart.
Keep in mind you can use this method with any cake mix as well!

How to cook 2 Ingredient Nutella Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Heavily grease the pan of choice (I used heart-shaped small tins). Small brownie pan. The recipe can be doubled.
- In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes or until tripled in volume.
- Heat the Nutella in a microwave-proof dish, then place it in the microwave for 25 seconds, and stir.
- Slowly pour the Nutella into the eggs and beat until well blended.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (depending on pans you're using) or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- I wait around 4 minutes and turn onto a wax paper-lined cutting board.
- When cooled, cut into squares if usingan 8x8 pan.
- For the heart-shaped version:
- Place a brownie on a pretty plate.
- Drizzle with the hot fudge that's still warm and topped with a freshly dipped strawberry.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
- Fudge Sauce with Frangelico
- 1 (14- ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 1 tablespoon of Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
- Combine condensed milk, chocolate, and salt in the top of the double boiler
- boiler over rapidly boiling water. Stir and cook until the chocolate melts and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in water, a little at a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Cool slightly and stir in vanilla, add Frangelico.
- Storing leftovers in a glass mason jar will keep 3 months in the refrigerator.
- Garnish: Dip fresh strawberries stem up into the fudge sauce and place on top of the brownie.
