# Layered Hazelnut Desserts Robicelli's Nutella Lasagna is a Decadent Take on Pastry Mashups By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-12-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-lasagna References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/fast-food/the-age-of-nutella-lasagna-is-upon-us/) & [robicellis.tumblr](http://robicellis.tumblr.com/post/95481858817/jump-the-shark-week-6-nutellasagna) While the French are combining pastries (i.e. baking croissant donut hybrids), apparently the Italians are making Nutella Lasagna, or Nutellasagna. From Brooklyn-based bakery Robicelli's, the "Frankenfood" consists of cannoli custard cream, [crushed roasted hazelnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-drages), [buttery lasagna noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fazolis-lasagna-rolls), marshmallow topping and [Nutella spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-peanut) (of course). Those who live in New York City will be able to order a tray of the Nutella Lasagna starting the week of Christmas. It will come served in a foil catering pan, so you can put it in the oven if you wish. Of course it tastes equally as delicious served cold; it's really a matter of taste preference. Between the mascarpone mousse and bruleed marshmallows, this decadent dessert is sure to be a crowd-pleaser this holiday season if you are hosting guests. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pastry Mashups:** Opportunity for bakeries and dessert shops to create unique and innovative desserts by combining multiple pastries. - **Decadent Desserts:** Opportunity for bakeries and dessert shops to create indulgent desserts using rich and unique ingredients (such as Nutella, mascarpone mousse, and bruleed marshmallows). - **Catering Desserts:** Opportunity for catering companies to offer unique and indulgent desserts such as Nutella Lasagna for events and special occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** Bakeries can take advantage of the trend of pastry mashups and create unique pastries and desserts that are sure to draw attention and customers. - **Dessert Shops:** Dessert shops can capitalize on the trend of decadent desserts and offer rich and unique desserts with exotic ingredients such as Nutella Lasagna. - **Catering:** Catering companies can offer decadent and unique desserts such as Nutella Lasagna for events and special occasions, providing a memorable experience for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sweet Nutella-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-pizza1.md) - [Hazelnut Spread Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-baguette-nutella-menu.md) - [Hazelnut Spread Pizzeria Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-cookie-made-with-nutella.md) - [Chocolate Ravioli Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-ravioli.md) - [Hazelnut Spread Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-donuts.md) - [Lasagna-Centric Menu Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-fest.md) - [Versatile Chocolate Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastazerts.md) - [Bread-Inspired Hazelnut Spread Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-bready.md) - [In-Demand Tiramisu Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-tiramisu.md)
