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/): [...]
