Ingredients

Scale

Frosting Ingredients

  • 200 g (¾ cup) mascarpone cheese, chilled
  • 200 g (¾ cup) heavy cream, cold
  • 23 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 70100 g (¼ to ⅓ cup) Nutella
  • 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the cold ingredients including mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, Nutella, and optional cocoa powder. Having everything chilled helps achieve the best whipped texture.
  2. Combine in Mixing Bowl: Place the mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, Nutella, and cocoa powder together in a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution before whipping.
  3. Whip the Mixture: Using an electric mixer on low to medium speed, whip the ingredients for 2 to 3 minutes. Whip until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and reaches a firm consistency suitable for frosting or dipping.
  4. Storage or Use: Use the Nutella whipped cream immediately as frosting or a dessert topping. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure all dairy ingredients are well chilled to get the best whipping results.
  • Adjust Nutella quantity to taste for more or less chocolate hazelnut flavor.
  • The optional cocoa powder enhances chocolate depth but can be omitted for a lighter Nutella flavor.
  • Use immediately or store refrigerated up to 2 days; the texture may soften over time.
  • Whip just until firm peaks form to avoid over-whipping which can cause separation.
