Ingredients

1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups powdered sugar (aka confectioner's sugar)
2/3 cup Nutella (or other chocolate-hazelnut spread)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt (up to 1/4 teaspoon, to taste)
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Steps:

In a stand mixer afixed with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and powdered sugar on low until well-blended. Add the Nutella and increase the speed to medium. Beat for two minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and salt and whip for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the whipping cream and beat for about one minute, until the frosting lightens slightly in both color and texture.
