Nutella Buttercream
This frosting is for the Nutella Lovers. It has such a distinct delicious flavor - and it's light and fluffy. Perfect for your favorite cupcakes or cake!
Servings: 1.5 Cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Nutella
- ½ cup of powdered sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, softened (114 grams)
- Splash of milk (or half & half/cream)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can use a hand-held beater), beat with the whisk attachment the Nutella, powdered sugar and butter until it starts to lighten in color - this will take about 5 minutes. Half way, scrape down the bowl to make sure you have everything incorporated. Drop a splash of your milk, half & half, or cream, just to keep it fluffy, and beat another minute or two.
