With the holiday season in full swing, I’m thinking long and hard about what to serve my guests for our annual Christmas party.

I’m pretty well-known for my chocolate cupcakes. So, to make things a bit easier for me this year, I’ll be using my chocolate cupcakes as a prime base for my holiday desserts. All I have to do is come up with different buttercreams to change things up!

Recenetly, I developed a delicious Biscoff Buttercream, and it was definitely a hit with my test tasters (aka, my family!)! My oldest then requested something Nutella-flavored, which is how my Nutella Buttercream came about!

What Ingredients Do I Need To Make Nutella Buttercream?

Making Nutella buttercream is as 1-2-3. Be sure to gather the following ingredients before whipping-up this delicious topping (psst: the exact measurements are in the recipe card, just down below):

  • Unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Milk
  • Nutella

Can I Store Leftover Homemade Buttercream?

Absolutely! The buttercream would just need to be scooped in an airtight container and refrigerated. I recommend refrigerating it for up to two weeks.

How Do I Use Refrigerated Buttercream?

To use refrigerated buttercream, let the container sit on your counter and allow the buttercream to come to room temperature. Place it in a bowl and use an electric mixture to make it nice and fluffy again.

What’s The Difference Between Buttercream And Frosting?

Buttercream’s base ingredient is butter, whereas frosting does not contain any butter. Instead, it uses a base of shortening or cream cheese.

Are There Any Ingredient Alternatives To Nutella Buttercream?

Feel free to use any brand of chocolate hazelnut spread that you prefer. We always have Nutella in our pantry, which is why we used it for our buttercream.

Do I Have To Use Nutella Buttercream On Chocolate Cupcakes?

Not necessarily! This buttercream tastes incredible on all sorts of cupcake flavors, including:

  • Vanilla
  • Red Velvet
  • Banana
  • Mocha
