nutella buttercream frosting

okay so we were a little over excited & might have under whisked 

the egg whites & sugar, but it tastes delicious & if you let it sit in the

fridge for a few hours, it will thicken up nicely.

ingredients:

1 cup egg whites (from about 8 large eggs)

2 cups sugar

2 sticks (8 oz.) butter, cubed & softened.

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

8 oz. nutella

- Place the egg whites & sugar in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently

  simmering water and stir occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl from the pan.

-  Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, place the egg white & sugar mixture in the

  bowl and whisk until the egg whites have cooled and become firm. Gradually add the butter cubes,

  vanilla extract, and nutella, mixing until well combined. Frost away!
