The Italian Hamburger, Dolce Style!

We recently had some friends over for dinner, I wanted to re-create a dessert I've had at the restaurant Son of a Gun in West Hollywood, they call it the Italian Hamburger.  It's one of those desserts you can't stop thinking about!

The Son of a Gun folks toast a brioche bun, fill it with gianduja ice cream (chocolate/hazelnut), warm caramel sauce and a sprinkling of coarse sea salt, it's to die for!

I decided to do a bit of an Italian Hamburger buffet, make your own concoction with different ice creams to choose from (chocolate, hazelnut or salted caramel), Nutella or caramel spread, brioche bun or pizzelle.   It was a big hit!
