Fazoli's has formed an agreement with Ferrero U.S.A Inc., makers of Nutella hazelnut spread, to allow the fast casual chain to serve cheesecake made with Nutella on a chocolate graham cracker crust. Priced at $2.49, the limited-time promotion runs through June 29 or until supplies last, according to a company press release.
"We are excited to offer a limited-time-only cheesecake product made with Nutella," said Carl Howard, Fazoli's president and CEO. "Cheesecake is always popular, and this unique, indulgent dessert will be a big hit with our guests. Nutella is a global brand, and we're pleased to join with them in offering this delicious treat."
Fazoli's culinary department worked with The Father's Table, current supplier of Fazoli's cheesecake to develop a recipe before approaching Ferrero U.S.A, the company that first imported Nutella to the U.S. from Italy more than 25 years ago.
