Nutella filo cigars with vanilla cream dip

These are great with coffee after a dinner party and sooooo easy!

Makes 12

Ingredients:

For the cigars:

1/2 pack of filo pastry

A jar of Nutella (you may not use the whole jar)

25g butter

For the vanilla cream dip:

100ml double cream

1 Tblsp caster sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Icing sugar, to serve

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 200oC. Line a baking tray with with baking paper.

2. Melt the butter. Take the filo pastry and cut it in half - into 2 rectangles about 16 x 19cm.

3. Take 1 rectangle and brush it lightly with melted butter. Spoon a tablespoon of Nutella along the short side of the pastry. Fold in the sides and roll up the pastry, to make a cigar and place on the lined baking tray. Continue to do this with as much of the pastry as cigars you want.

4. Brush the rolls with a little more butter and bake for 10minutes or until the pastry is a light golden colour. Leave to cool. (These can be stored in an airtight container lined with kitchen roll for up to 2 days.)

5. To make the vanilla cream dip, whip the cream lightly with the sugar and vanilla. 

6. Arrange the cigars on a serving dish and sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve the vanilla cream dip in a side dish.
