Nutella Icing Recipe 🍫🍰
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! 😋

-
Customize: Want a thicker or thinner icing? Adjust the whipping time to achieve your desired consistency.

Kitchen Notes:
