Nutella frosting

[TheHouseofMirth]

Has anyoen got a good recipe for nutella frosting. I've basically found 2 whilst googling, 1 just advocates topping with neat nutella the other involves butter and a whopping 250g icing sugar. Is there a middle ground?!

I would say you probably make choclate butter cream and than mix half & half

I'd just go with neat nutella, as I don't really like buttercream and I think the icing sugar will make it too sweet.

How about nutella ganache? I.e. melt some and add some cream. Not sure if it would set hard like normal ganache though.
I've just googled it and I think you use equal quantities of nutella to double-cream.

Sounds yummy but surely nutella & cream without the stiffening qualities of proper chocolate would be a bit sloppy?

here's one

or here's another

Thanks! In the end I ran out of time and just slapped on the Nutella and it was fine. Will definitely experiment with these when I have more time
