Nutella Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Nutella Buttercream Frosting Confectionalism.com

There are soooo many different kinds of frostings. Flavors galore- swiss meringue buttercream, Italian Meringue Buttercream, Simple, Complex, stiff and smooth. Well, I’ve swam the sea of icings, and I have to say that this could be the holy grail of simple buttercream.

It is simple to create, yet complex in flavor. Smooth and soft yet holds it’s shape, and not too sweet. I really hope you enjoy slathering this on everything, as much as I do. Please do, because otherwise I might start to feel guilty about my new obsession.

This is the frosting of choice for my Chocolate Blueberry Cupcakes.

    1. I must admit, I did leave a tad left in the jar for some toast the next morning…. hehe. I just needed to be sure I had a little left to hold me over until I bought another jar.

  8. That picture made me really crave Nutella! Sounds like it would be great on some chocolate cupcakes.

  9. This sounds like something my husband and son in law would love. I am not a good baker but my daughter is and I bet she never thought about using Nutella. Great idea!
