Nutella Frosting

Nutella Frosting is an easy and decadent frosting that will take your cupcakes or cake to the next level!

Nutella is one of those foods that you either love or hate. While I don’t love Nutella in everything and certainly wouldn’t want to eat it by the spoonful, I love the depth of flavor it gives when you add it to a treat. Enter Nutella Frosting

Take a plain ol’ cupcake and top it with Nutella Frosting? Now it’s pretty amazing 🙂

When I found the new Pillsbury Funfetti cake mixes at my local Target for $2.50 a box I knew I had to buy a few. Pillsbury makes a pretty good gluten free cake mix, but adding Nutella frosting and a few sprinkles really takes these to the next level!

The new Pillsbury Funfetti Cupcake Mix did not disappoint, and WOW. This Nutella frosting is truly knock-your-socks-off good. It has the classic creamy texture of Nutella except in a pipe-able frosting form.

Simple yet decadent, it’s the perfect way to fancy up whatever treat you might be making! We’ve been known to pull this out as a dip for strawberries or a filling for gluten free graham cracker sandwiches (Schar are our fav). Let us know what you top with this Nutella Frosting!

Nutella Frosting

Nutella Frosting is an easy and decadent frosting that will take your cupcakes or cake to the next level!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup Nutella Hazelnut Spread
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2-3 T milk of your choice 

Instructions

1. Using a stand mixer with whisk attachment (or a large bowl and regular mixer), beat butter 1 minute on medium-high speed.
2. Add Nutella and cream for another minute on medium-high speed.
3. Add powdered sugar and mix until combined. It will look very powdery and won't be frosting consistency yet.
4. Add 1 T milk while the mixer is running. Add milk 1/2 T at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until desired consistency is reached.
5. Use this frosting to frost cupcakes or brownies, make graham cracker sandwiches, stuff strawberries or raspberries...the possibilities are endless!
