Nutella Italian Rice Pudding

DoveChocolatierinKY's Note:

I am making this delish dessert for Thanksgiving. I saw it on MSNBC this past Saturday, and never want to lose the recipe, so I'm posting it here giving credit to those who own the recipe. The recipe does not give suggestions how to display the dessert. They displayed it as a round decorated cake, so be creative. I will use the rectangle pan as they suggest since it is my first time to do this recipe, however I am going to make a whipped cream to decorate the top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings. The family from Fresco restaurant in New York serves up a holiday meal with some tasty rice dishes. Check out this recipe. The Scottos 12 servings
