Nutella Icing

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 makes enough to ice a 2-layer cake - provided you can stop yourself from eating it up right out of the bowl (and the beaters...and the spatula...)

2 layer cake (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 13 ounces nutella
  • 12 ounces whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1
    Empty nutella, whipping cream and vanilla extract into the bowl of your mixer, and beat (slowly in the beginning to avoid splatters) on medium-high, scraping sides and bottom of bowl with rubber spatula occasionally, until you have billowy clouds of chocolate-hazelnut cream.

This is soooo good! I tried this twice. The first time it didn't work for me. I used the store brand and will not make that mistake again. It is alot thinner than the Nutella brand so the icing was really thin and runny. Will make again and again but with only Nutella brand! Thanks for sharing I get tons of compliments.

    How could anything with Nutella NOT be delicious??? This was AWESOME! I have to work on the texture, but I know I was rushing this morning when I made this, so I look forward to perfecting my technique! I put the icing on the ridiculously easy Banana Cake (recipe posted by Evie*) and it was AMAZING! If you are looking for something new to use this icing on - try it out! Thanks for posting this recipe!

    Oh dear, there seems to be something wrong with this recipe. After having tasted the icing to make sure it was "just right", then getting a second opinion from one daughter, who needed to consult with another daughter, there just wasn't enough icing to cover the dark chocolate cake for which it was meant. I made another double recipe, so there was enough for the cake, and I put what was left in the freezer. It is delicious on its own straight out of the freezer! Ev, I hate you, my fat tushy hates you, this is wonderful!

    This is just fantastic!!! I actually iced it on a rich butter cake. And the blend of flavours were just fantastic!! My family and I loved it, and who wouldn't..i mean it is nutella!! I had just a tablespoon leftover after icing and sampling it, and instead of sticking the whole tablespoon in my greedy mouth, i spread it on 2 thick pieces of toast..TO DIE FOR!!
