Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Place the unsalted softened butter in a mixing bowl.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the butter for 3-5 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a silicone spatula.
- Add the entire can of sweetened condensed milk to the butter and mix for another 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the Nutella and mix for an additional 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Scrape down the sides and base of the bowl again, then fold the mixture with the spatula to remove air bubbles.
Serving Suggestions
- Pipe generous swirls on chocolate cupcakes, frost a layer cake, or use as a filling for cookies.
- A dollop on a warm slice of pound cake or biscuits adds special touch to any moment.
Storage
- Keep covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Let it come to room temperature before using and whip with a hand mixer if needed.
- For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
For a silkier finish, sift a tiny pinch of cocoa powder into the Nutella before folding it in. If the buttercream seems too soft, chill briefly (10-15 minutes) and re-whip.
