Nutella Buttercream Frosting (5-Minute Frosting)
This incredibly delicious, creamy, and silky smooth Nutella buttercream frosting is made with ½ cup of Nutella in it and tastes amazing.
Ingredients
- 230 g Butter
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 ½ cups Powder sugar
- ⅓ cup Cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Heavy cream
Instructions
- Into a large bowl add room temperature butter and mix with a hand mixer or a stand mixer until the butter is light and fluffy.
- Add half of the powder sugar and the cocoa powder and carefully mix until combined.
- Add the other half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
- Add the Nutella to the mixture and mix until well combined and smooth.
Notes
- I recommend using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to whip this up. It is easier and quicker.
- Add ½ teaspoon of espresso powder to the mixture for a richer flavor and to enhance the delicious flavor of the chocolate.
- Make sure that your butter is at room temperature. An hour or two before making this frosting, take the butter out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. The butter should be soft to the touch. If your butter is too cold, it will be harder to mix and there will be lumps of butter in the frosting.
- Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to prevent lumps in your frosting and ensure that it's creamy and smooth.
