How to Make Nutella Icing

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Nutella, 1 cup heavy whipping cream (not ultra-pasteurized), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently with a rubber spatula.
  3. Continue beating until the mixture reaches a light and fluffy, billowy consistency. This may take longer if your cream is very cold.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. (You probably won't need to!)
  5. Immediately frost your cake or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
