Nutella Recipes FAQ
What can you make with Nutella?
Nutella is a versatile ingredient great for quick desserts and cozy treats that goes far beyond spreading on toast. Try whipping it into an easy chocolate mousse, topping no-bake cheesecakes or blending it into a steaming mug of hot chocolate. It even adds a decadent twist to French toast when you want an extra special breakfast.
Can you bake with Nutella?
Nutella is great as a spread and topping but also shines in baked goods. You can fold it into brownie or cake batters, add to shortbread recipes or use it as a rich filling for cinnamon rolls. Nutella’s flavor doesn’t dissipate during baking, so the desserts taste as indulgent as they look.
What are the most popular ways to use Nutella?
Everyone has their favorite way to enjoy Nutella, but it is most popular in chocolate desserts, where the spread adds another layer of cocoa flavor, or as a quick filling for freshly fried doughnuts or sandwich cookies. You can add a spoonful to a milkshake or beat some into chocolate frosting to upgrade your go-to buttercream recipe. It’s also popular on breakfast favorites like pancakes, waffles and crepes. Of course, many say nothing beats enjoying it straight out of the jar.
