Description
Indulge in a rich and velvety Nutella ganache, perfect for drizzling, filling, or dipping!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (294g) Nutella
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces (optional)
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (40g) light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons (40g) light corn syrup (for frosting)
- 2 cups (588g) Nutella (for a thicker ganache)
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 3/4 cup (221g) Nutella (for a dipping ganache)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (for a dipping ganache)
- 1 tablespoon (20g) light corn syrup (for a dipping ganache)
Instructions
- Start by placing Nutella and optional butter pieces in a medium bowl. Set this aside while prepping the cream mixture.
- In a medium saucepan, heat one cup of heavy cream with two tablespoons of light corn syrup over medium heat until it simmers gently.
- Once it reaches a simmer, remove it from the heat and pour the cream mixture directly over the Nutella and butter.
- Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes; this will help to soften the Nutella.
- Whisk everything together until you achieve a smooth and silky consistency.
- Set the ganache aside at room temperature for about 15 minutes to thicken a bit more.
- If you plan to store it, cover the ganache with plastic wrap and let it sit for 6-8 hours, or overnight.
- For frosting, repeat the process by heating another cup of cream with a tablespoon of unsalted butter, then pour it over one cup of Nutella and stir in the corn syrup.
- For a dipping ganache, mix equal parts Nutella, heavy cream, and light corn syrup in a bowl over simmering water.
Notes
Store the ganache in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week or freeze for up to three months.
