This homemade Nutella frosting is unbelievably creamy and made from 6 simple ingredients. It holds its shape when piped and tastes fantastic on chocolate cupcakes, pumpkin cake, vanilla cake, and so much more.
Not in the mood for chocolate buttercream, but still crave something totally rich and indulgent? Let me take care of that for you. This Nutella frosting has a lighter chocolate taste from the Nutella, plus irresistible hazelnut and vanilla flavors. It pairs perfectly with chocolate, vanilla, mocha, pumpkin, banana, and basically any other flavor cake flavor.
As far as texture goes, it reminds me of the filling from my dark chocolate mousse cake. Creamy and airy, but decadently rich. One spoonful and you’ll lose all self control. Trust me, I know from experience!
