EQUIPMENT

INGREDIENTS

450 g (1 lb) powdered sugar
905 g (2 lb) butter unsalted and softened
125 ml (4.2 floz) egg whites pasteurized
½ cup (½ cup) Nutella
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) hazelnut essence
¼ teaspoon (¼ teaspoon) salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the pasteurized egg whites and powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
Start on low speed for the first two minutes, then increase to medium speed and whip for 10 minutes.
After 5 minutes, the mixture will appear thick and glossy. Scrape down the bowl and continue mixing.
After 10 minutes, add the softened butter one chunk at a time, mixing briefly between each addition.
Once all the butter is added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Continue mixing on medium speed for another 10 minutes. You'll notice the volume of the buttercream increasing and the color becoming lighter.
Stop the mixer, add the Nutella and hazelnut essence, and mix for an additional 2 minutes.
Scrape down the bowl a couple of times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
The buttercream will be smooth and silky, perfect for filling, covering, and layering cakes. It can also be used to decorate cupcakes and fill macarons or whoopie pies.

NOTES

Use pasteurized egg whites to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
A stand mixer is recommended for this recipe to prevent overheating.
Store buttercream in an airtight container. Use within the pasteurized egg whites' expiration date.
If the buttercream looks curdled, keep mixing; it will come together.
Butter should be soft but not melted for best results.
