Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup salted softened butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup Nutella

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese and Butter: Beat the softened cream cheese and salted softened butter together in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar and Nutella: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, continuing to beat on low to medium speed to avoid sugar flying everywhere. Once the sugar is incorporated, add the Nutella and beat the mixture until the frosting becomes fluffy and well combined.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and butter are truly softened for a smooth frosting without lumps.
  • Beat sugar gradually to prevent mess and achieve the right consistency.
  • This frosting works best when chilled slightly before spreading to firm up.
  • Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
