This rich and creamy frosting combines milk chocolate with Nutella for a perfectly balanced addition to any dessert that is not overly sweet. It’s my new favorite buttercream to use for cupcakes and layer cakes, and it tastes out of this world!

When I was deciding what to make my daughter for her second birthday, I wanted to create the perfect frosting for her cake. I wanted something that had a bit of complexity but was still easy to make, and would please both kids and adults. After several attempts at creating the perfect frosting, I came up with this milk chocolate Nutella buttercream that I promise is just as delicious as it sounds. It’s super smooth, rich and creamy, and it looks and tastes incredible! It’s a new favorite in our family, and it pairs amazing with any cake or cupcake.
