Make creamy Nutella frosting with cream cheese, butter and Nutella. This rich, sweet frosting is perfect for cakes and cupcakes, birthdays, Mother’s Day and special occasions.
In an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, softened cream cheese, Nutella and vanilla extract on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, continuing to beat until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the icing to a piping bag. Frost 12 cupcakes using any pattern you'd like or 1 nine inch cake using a knife or spatula. The icing can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months until ready to use.
Notes
Storing: store icing in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 6 months until ready to use. Bring to room temperature prior to transferring to a piping bag and frosting the cupcakes.
