TIPS FOR MAKING NUTELLA WHIPPED ICING

• For a creamier texture, allow the heavy cream to reach room temperature before combining with the rest of the ingredients.
• Powdered sugar can be used instead of the granulated sugar, especially if you want to avoid any grainy texture. Keep in mind that powdered sugar will make the whipped topping much sweeter and can also absorb a lot of moisture, in which case you can add in extra cream or even milk.
• Chilling the icing before use is not necessary but a good idea if you intend to style the icing through piping techniques so that it keeps its form.
• For a boozy version of this icing, add a small amount of your favorite liquor to the icing. Kahlua, Baileys Irish Cream, or Amaretto are all great options!
