I'd like to try it but can't find a recipe, is praline the same thing??

Thanks for the help. I think I'll go check out the specialty store today and try adding it to the buttercream - sounds easy enough! (famous last words!)

A lot of people use that Nutella right out of the jar. I havent used it on a cake, but I bought a jar of the Nusco (my store didnt have nutella) and it is pretty good. Might be good mixed with buttercream too.

No-I dont think praline is the same thing

I used this recipe and substituted hazelnuts (chopped fine) for the pecans. It was very, very good.

Thanks for the help, I'm on the way to the store now (promised DH it's for the LAST time) so I appreciate the advice on what to get!!

I read on one of these forums that someone just took the nutella and whipped it with their KitchenAid and used that as a filling. I haven't tried it yet, but am keeping it in mind.

This is from The Whimsical Bakehouse by Liv and Kaye Hansen:

in the bowl of an electric mixer at high speed, whip until stiff:

2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

soften in microwave for 10-20 seconds:

1/2 cup Nutella (wal-mart actually carries this)

Gently fold the Nutella into the whipped cream.

Yield: 4 1/2 cups

This is so yummy, and it was easy to make.

My grocery store had the nutella so I picked up a jar. I'm ready to experiment on my playgroup mom's!! Thanks for all the advice!

i used the Nutella for the first time this weekend and loved it. I just whipt it a little in my mixer.

Nutella is made with hazelnut, for whoever asked.

I know you've already made your grocery store trip but here is a hazelnut mousse, that I want to try:


1 tsp unflavored gelatin
3 TBSP cold water
1/2 cup Nutella (5 oz)
1/2 cup mascarpone (1/4 lb)
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
2 TBSP unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3 TBSP sugar

What about easy Hazelnut coffee creamer to buttercream?? Seems easy enough and smells divine!

Just remember to dissolve the creamer in hot water, let cool before adding to BC.

I often add Nutella to my buttercream and it tastes great.
