Has any one use it for filling? Or is it not firm enough.? Can it be used as is? Or dose anyone have any better ideas, (besides adding it to the buttercream) Thank you.

Anyone ? Someone must of tried it!

Yeah, tried it with a spoon going straight into my mouth.

Over the past few years I've bought Nutella with the intention of using it in a recipe. I'm ashamed to admit that I have no Nutella self-control. Yum!

I used nutella in cupcakes. I filled liners with vanilla batter, then swirled a tablespoon of nutella on the top before baking. Then frosted with a nutella buttercream. They turned out delicious! Not sure if this is what you were looking for...

I've used it for filling in cupcakes. It's really delicious...but it is gooey. If you were to use it on a cake, I'd make sure to have a pretty stiff dam around the edge to avoid it oozing out. Might also mix a little buttercream in it to stiffen it up a little.

Thanks, Carmijok, My daughter wants it for a cake, That I`m making for my granddaughters Birthday next month. And they love the stuff, I would`t be able to buy it till i need it cuz it would be gone. Do you think i`m better off warming up some fondant to use for a dam. If it`s that gooey?

Or you could make Nutella Ganache. I've seen a recipe with equal parts of heavy cream and nutella (1 cup). It looked a little runny, but you could try it that way and let it set up overnight. Then whip it like you would with regular choco ganache to make it fluffy. HTH!

I have used it ti fill cakes...delicious!!!

I've used it to fill cakes, and had no problem with oozing. A regular icing dam will work just fine. I, also, have trouble keeping it in the house and away from my big mouth!

I have made it into a mousse, and everyone loved it!

me too.....nutella in one bowl..peanut butter in the other...dip one then the other.Mmmmmm

I never even thought about using it as a filling. My kids would love that!

Karateka, If you said you tried it and had no problems with it, Then thats good enough for me. Karen421, Would you mind sharing how you made the mousse ?

I mix it into bc and works great

I often use it as a filling for choc mudcake. As the cake is quite heavy/dense, I make a ganache dam, then I have no problem with oozing.

It is delicious! Everyone who tastes it, loves it!

Thanks, Caymancake,

Add SMBC to it...Delicious and creamy.

I teach Wilton classes, I had a student use it once as a filling for her cake. The following week she said everyone at work loved it. I believe she put it on a chocolate cake and the frosting was the Wilton recipe for buttercream.

Karen421, Am I understanding you right, You`r wipping the heavy cream (cold) Till thick then stiring in the nutella, And just let it sit in the fridge? I read somewhere where they say, Heat heavy cream (3/4 cup) add to 1 jar 13oz of nutella then put in the fridge, Have you ever tried it that way?

I used it as is in my boyfriend's birthday cake a few weeks ago. I had no problem and just used a normal dam. Delicious!

Thank you all for you`r replys. Im going to try it for sure.

Hey thanks everyone for giving this pregnant women a terrible craving :/ Now if anyone would like to make me some nutella cake Id be very happy!!

I mix it into Bettercreme or Frostin' Pride and it makes a delicious mousse type filling for either cakes or cupcakes! YUM!

I haven't used it in a cake per se, but I have used it to fill cupcakes. YUMMMM.....

I use it quiet often. Not straight though, unless it's a filling. However, I use it as a buttercream, with melted chocolate... heavenly! >.<

Thanks Karen421, Think I`m going to give it a try Both ways, CakeAndDazzle I would love to make a pregnant lady a cake. Must keep a pregnant lady happy....Want to come over for coffee. LOL. Congrats.When are you due?
