But really, Nutella + Butter + Sugar + Cream... how can you go wrong?!
I stumbled upon a version of this recipe over at My Baking Addiction, and I just knew I had to try it.
I served this on vanilla cupcakes and in a bowl to dip strawberries in... I could easily just sit and eat this by the spoonful, it's so good!!
Simple Nutella Buttercream Frosting Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups nutella
2 pounds powdered sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2-3/4 cup heavy cream or milk
Directions:
In your large mixer bowl, beat together the butter and nutella until well combined. Slowly add in the sugar and mix until combined.
Add in the vanilla & 1/4 cup of the cream, beating until well mixed. Add more cream, a bit at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Continue to beat until light and fluffy!
This frosting can be made 2-3 days in advance! Let the frosting sit at room temperature until soft again, and if needed - re-whip until fluffy!
