Nutella Icing Recipe ๐ซ๐ฐ
Overview:
It appears that many people are having trouble with this recipe. As I have always had great success with it, I can only assume our differences lie in the quality of the whipped cream available ‘here’ as opposed to other places. I get fresh whipping cream – not the ultra-pasteurised stuff, so this is probably where our differences lie. If you have a source for ‘real’ cream, and not cream that has been radiated, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the same success with this recipe. This delightful Nutella icing makes enough to generously coat a 2-layer cake. Just be warned, it’s so delicious you might find yourself sneaking spoonfuls straight from the bowl! ๐

-
Chill Out: For easier spreading, let the icing chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before frosting your cake.
-
Customize: Want a thicker or thinner icing? Adjust the whipping time to achieve your desired consistency.
-
Storage: Store any leftover Nutella icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s also freezer-friendly for longer storage.

Kitchen Notes:
If you find the icing is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out to your liking. Likewise, if it’s too thin, pop it in the fridge for a bit to firm up before frosting your cake. Experiment with different cake flavors to find your perfect pairing for this indulgent Nutella icing! ๐ฐโจ
