Recently I've tried making nutella buttercream, however it always becomes curdled and grainy. I have no idea what is wrong with it. I'm using the follow ingredients :
100g butter, 150g nutella, 225g sifted icing sugar, 3 table spoon whole milk.
I usually cream the butter and nutella together for 5minutes before adding the icing sugar in batches. After adding all the icing sugar, it started to become very hard so I added a tablespoon of milk at a time. The end product became very grainy and curdled.
I tried doing the same method with different amount of ingredients.
130g butter, 200g nutella, 130g icing sugar , 1table spoon whole milk.
This time it came out better as its more firm. However I could see that the buttercream is greasy and it looks a bit curdled.
Please advise me on what to do. I'm using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
