Ever since I tried the bella nutella cupcake at Cupcake A La Mode I’ve had a hankering for nutella frosting. Some googling brought me to this recipe, a nutella buttercream frosting. Perfect for a neighborhood cookout like the one we are going to tonight! I didn’t spring for the ferrero rocher candies but did get some hazelnut pirouettes to top them off with. Sooooo good, and not too rich!
Nutella Frosting (from Koko Cooks)
Ingredients:
¾ c butter, softened
¼ c chocolate hazelnut spread
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs milk
3 c powdered sugar
Blend all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency by adjusting with a little more milk if too stiff, or a little more powdered sugar if too runny. Frost and decorate cupcakes as desired.
Whoa! Those look amazing! My mouth is watering.

Is there a nutella craze in the air? My daughter just asked me at the grocery the other day to buy some nutella so she could try it! I said no, because in principle we stay on the list, so I put it on the list the next week and bought it for her as a surprise! Now I have something I actually use it for! I found a recipe for vanilla cupcakes with nutella filling, and I think I will use this frosting. If it’s good, I will let you know!

[...] As a final touch I want to put Nutella frosting on top of the cake. A layer of Nutella will be amazing, and it really complement the basic recipe. But nutella is very thick, and rigid. Spreading it on top of cheesecake will be tough, and I thought why not change it into an icing ! I found a number of recipe to do this, but they all involve powdered sugar. For example (I got this from http://juliatylerfoodblog.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/nutella-frosting/): [...]

I have made Nutella frosting by beating together about equal amounts of Nutella and whipping cream (a little less wc than Nutella) until fluffy and adding vanilla extract.
How many cupcakes does it frost?
