Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar plus extra for topping
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 – 2 tbsp milk
  • ¼ cup Nutella
  • One dozen of your favorite chocolate cupcakes cooled down completely

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder and 1 tbsp of milk.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients. Start on low and slowly make your way to medium-high.
  • Beat until it’s smooth and forms semi-stiff peaks. If you need it to be looser, add some more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Next, add Nutella and beat some more.
  • Scoop the buttercream into a frosting bag with your desired frosting tip. Frost each cupcake and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.
