Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 240 grams Nutella
- 240 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter (at room temperature) and beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Nutella to the butter and continue beating until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/3 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent the sugar from puffing up.
Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, and increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Beat for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the icing is fluffy and easy to spread.
If the icing is too thick, add an extra teaspoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
Once the icing is ready, use it immediately to frost your cake, cupcakes, or cookies. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
