Nutella Buttercream Frosting
Servings: 20 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 2 ½ -3 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Nutella
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt and whip again until light and fluffy.
- Pour in the Nutella and another cup of the powdered sugar.
- If you’d like it to be a little thicker, gradually add more powdered sugar or if it’s too thick pour in more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Frost your favorite cake or cupcakes using your favorite piping tip (I used a Wilton 1M piping tip for the cupcakes in the photos).
- See post for storage options.
