Make Your Panini Sandwich The Best Dessert Ever

Panini is always used as a main course. It is filled with meat, cheese and other garnishes, pressed in a panini grill and served with garlic-rubbed grilled stripes and the dripping melted cheese. This is perfect for those main course snacks… But did you know that you can also serve Panini as a dessert?

Yes, you can put sweet fillings in your Panini and serve it after the main course. You can rub sugar or just sprinkle cinnamon sugar on your bread. The sweet taste of the bread and the filling will definitely bring your taste buds to a never-ending adventure to candy land; a great way to finish your meal.

Below are some dessert recipes that you could apply on your Panini:

       Ice cream Sandwich
Why not do the same thing on your Panini? Stuff in two spreads of ice cream on both bread slices (it can be one to two flavors) and press with panini grill. It is probably better if you press the sides to lock the ice cream to avoid leaks and ice cream getting thawed easily. The hot and cold dessert dish will be a sure hit to the kids. The bread slices are warm but when one bite is taken off from it, an explosion of milky and creamy ice cream syrup will emerge.

       Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwich
This “house regular” sandwich will not be a regular no more! Do the same with the Panini grill. With the sealed bread base, the peanut butter and jam will surely be cooked enough to give that rich nutty aroma and fruity taste. And the peanut butter and jam are not dripping, so you can enjoy a full-packed sandwich.

      Hazelnut Sandwich
This is probably my all-time favorite. I am a big fan of Nuttela and I love eating it without using it as a spread. You can fill it in your bread and press it on your Panini grill. The chocolate-y taste will compete with the ice cream sandwich. You can also make it as a jam on your peanut butter and jam Panini.

           Cake
You can treat your Panini as a cake. Make one of the below dessert recipes and top it with icing and chocolate syrup. You can also include marshmallows and chocolate kisses in the filling to provide more cake-y experience. If you are making a hazelnut sandwich, make sure that you heat the spread first before putting it on the bread.
