Whipped Nutella Frosting is so creamy and smooth, you’ll want to eat it with a spoon! This easy frosting recipe is fantastic for both cakes and cupcakes. Once you make this hazelnut frosting, you won’t want to try any other recipes!
I am a frosting girl. That’s me. Hi.
I can’t be on your team if you have ever uttered the words, that’s “too sweet” or, “I scraped the frosting off”.
Just no.
Quick and Easy Whipped Nutella Frosting Recipe
My people ask for a corner piece…an extra rose (or two).
My people eat the frosting first…you know, to make sure it’s the RIGHT kind of frosting. No fake stuff allowed. Only the real deal for my brethren. If the frosting ain’t right, the cake ain’t worth it.
I should really write bumper stickers.
Anyhow, today I am sharing with you maybe my new favorite food. And DEFINITELY my new favorite frosting.
I don’t want to be all exaggeratey, but today’s pretty major.
Whipped Nutella Frosting. OHHHYEZZZZY.
My Favorite Hazelnut Frosting For Desserts
I have to tell you this frosting never made it onto a cupcake, or a cookie or even a toothbrush. It went straight from the mixing bowl and into my face. And when I ate so much I couldn’t feel my fingertips any longer I gave the rest to my neighbors, where they also ate it with a spoon, from the bowl.
I was going to make dark chocolate cupcakes and pipe a giant swirl of this creamy love fluff on top. But it never stood a chance.
It’s THAT good.
So I will say make this at your own risk…because I know it’s not health food or anything. But I’m pretty sure you deserve a giant heap of frosting in your face right now.
I know this because you are my people.
And if you’re the type with self-control you betcha it will be great on THESE cupcakes! Or THIS cake! Or even in place of the mousse on THIS CAKE!
Or you know…straight off a spoon 🙂
Enjoy!

What a great idea! We LOVE Nutella at our house and always keep a jar on hand 😀
I loved today’s post…and I can’t wait to try this recipe. You see…I covet frosting. I’m a frosting lush. You get me. Thank you for totally giving a voice to those of us who demand the corner piece with the rose…and then ask our crazy friends (and sometimes complete strangers) if we can eat their leftover, scraped-off frosting. You are my hero.
I’m with you on this girl!! I just hate it when someone is eating cake or something sweet and says oh too much frosting, or too sweet! You’re eating cake with frosting, it’s suppose to be sweet!!! Can’t wait to try this! You are the best!
Ahhhhh, this looks too good!!!!
I am your people. I don’t need cake, or cupcakes, or brownies or anything else to enjoy frosting on. Frosting is good. Frosting can stand on its own. I am deathly allergic to hazelnuts so I use Reese’s spread in recipes instead of Nutella. I have everything on hand and I’m heading to the kitchen now to whip up a batch of this. Can’t wait to sink a spoon in it!
BTW – I don’t know how I ended up this way, my mom says everything is too sweet and my brother won’t touch frosting on anything. Who are these people?
LOL
Amen to that!
Thanks for a new frosting recipe! ????
Oops!
Should be !!!!
My daughter is going to die when she gets home from school! She, of course, is a sugar junkie, and obsessed with Nutella! You are a saint! And yes, this frosting will probably not make it onto anything. Right out of the bowl for dessert! Thanks so much for sharing!
Yum!! “If the frosting ain’t right, the cake ain’t worth it.” Amen sister. If you make this slogan into a bumper sticker, I will buy it from you. Just let me know when they’re ready. Nothing is worse than when someone says, “There’s going to be cake!” and then it’s store-bought with that awful fake frosting on top. It’s not even worth eating. Frosting snobs, unite!!
The worst is the “whipped frosting” that’s like eating tasteless whipped air. YUCK!
oh why had I never thought of this? Yum!!
Yes. Girl….YES. This is Waaayyyyy better than Spa Food
HA! You know it!
