Main Ingredients

1 cup Nutella Opt for the classic brand for optimal flavor.
1/2 cup heavy cream Look for heavy cream or whipping cream for the best texture.
1/4 cup butter, softened Use unsalted butter for better control of salt levels.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Choose pure vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
1 pinch salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, heavy cream, and softened butter.
Using an electric mixer, start at low speed to avoid splattering and gradually increase to medium-high. Mix for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy, smooth, and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Beat again for another minute until well combined.
Your filling is now ready to spread between layers of cake or spooned on top of cupcakes.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. If you have any leftover filling, store it properly.
