In the Kitchen with Waffle Pantry

We’re excited to unveil a luxurious new lineup of Italian Hazelnut Creams, sourced from the heart of Sicily. Waffle Pantry’s Italian White Hazelnut Cream, Cocoa Hazelnut Cream, and Hazelnut Cream (45%)—each slow-roasted with premium Sicilian hazelnuts to deliver a depth of flavor, velvety texture, and aromatic richness. Whether you’re filling chocolates with our Ferrero Rocher-inspired cocoa hazelnut cream, piping our Kinder Bueno-dupe white hazelnut cream into pastries, or using the pure 45% hazelnut (think of the Kinder Happy Hippo filling) version where real nut flavor matters, these are the professional-grade staples your recipes deserve.

Why Sicilian Hazelnut Creams?

Sicily’s volcanic soil—rich in minerals from Mount Etna’s eruptions—produces the world’s most buttery, aromatic hazelnuts. Our creams harness these exceptional nuts, crafted to deliver authentic Italian flavor with luxuriously smooth texture. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, they offer higher nut content (up to 45%), superior quality from nutrient-dense harvests, and unmatched versatility for gourmet kitchens around the world. Make sure to checkout our hazelnut cream sampler to taste for yourself!

Italian White Hazelnut Cream – The Kinder Bueno-Inspired Dream

This ultra-smooth white hazelnut cream replicates the signature silky filling in Kinder Bueno bars—those beloved European treats known for their airy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

What Makes It Special:

Authentic Kinder-Style Texture – The same silky, velvety consistency that makes Kinder Bueno fillings so addictive, achieved through a specialized Italian production process.
Balanced Sweetness – Less sugary than common spreads, letting the roasted hazelnut flavor shine.
No Artificial Flavors – Uses real Sicilian hazelnuts for sophisticated taste.

Kinder-Inspired Uses:

• Bueno Dupes – Pipe between wafer layers for homemade chocolate bars
• Upgraded Nutella – Swirl with chocolate spread for a marbled effect on toast
• Professional Pastries – Ideal for filling éclairs, donuts, or macarons (sets firmly when chilled)

Fun Fact: Kinder Bueno’s original filling was inspired by gianduia blanc—a white chocolate-hazelnut blend from Piedmont, Italy. Our version stays true to those roots with Sicilian nuts for deeper flavor.

Italian Cocoa Hazelnut Cream – The Ferrero Rocher-Inspired Chocolate Experience

Indulge in the same luxurious chocolate-hazelnut filling that makes Ferrero Rocher chocolates so irresistible—but in a versatile, easy-to-use cream form. Our Italian Cocoa Hazelnut Cream is darker, richer, and more decadent than any common chocolate hazelnut brand, made with premium cocoa and Sicilian hazelnuts for an authentic gourmet experience.

Why you’ll love it:

• Tastes just like the center of Ferrero Rocher chocolates—ideal for chocolate filling replacement
• A high-end alternative to Nutella with deeper, more sophisticated flavor
• Perfect for:
  • Filling chocolates, truffles, and pralines
  • Creating luxurious ganaches and mousses
  • Spreading on pastries or dipping fruit

Italian Hazelnut Cream (45% Hazelnut) – Pure, Rich, and Irresistibly Aromatic

This is hazelnut cream in its purest form—creamy, nutty, and luxuriously smooth with a 45% hazelnut content (far higher than most commercial spreads). The moment you open the jar, you’re greeted by an intoxicating, roasted hazelnut aroma that immediately transports you to an Italian Pasticceria. This rich, nutty fragrance is your first hint of the premium quality within. With its irresistible subtill sweetness and velvety texture, it’s like spreading the beloved Kinder Happy Hippo biscuits—every child’s favorite—right onto your toast.

This addition ties the cream to a nostalgic, universally loved treat while keeping the luxurious tone.

Perfect for:

• Filling macarons, croissants, and crepes – that heavenly scent will fill your kitchen as you bake
• Hippo Cookie Filling – Sandwich between shortbread cookies
• Spreading on toast, waffles, or pancakes – waking up to that warm, nutty perfume is pure bliss
• Enhancing cake layers and dessert fillings – adds both flavor and an enticing aroma to your creations

The deep, toasty hazelnut fragrance comes from slowly roasted Sicilian hazelnuts, giving this cream an unmatched sensory experience that begins with your first whiff and continues through every delicious bite.
