How to Make Chocolate Nutella Ganache

All you have to do is chop up some good quality chocolate, mix it with Nutella, add a little butter, and then pour in some heated heavy cream to melt it all. Stir and blend together and you’re done! It really is that easy.

I use this on shortbread, or cupcakes, or really anything that cries out for chocolate and in my house that’s just about everything.

Chocolate Nutella Ganache

A silky chocolate and Nutella ganache that's good on anything you want to put chocolate on.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Total: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients 

  • 6 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate, don't use chips and use good quality
  • ½ cup Nutella
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions 

  • Place chopped chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Add Nutella and butter to bowl.
  • Heat cream in a saucepan until very warm, not quite boiling but a good simmer.
  • Pour hot cream over chocolate and whisk until chocolate and butter are melted and well-blended.
  • Allow ganache to set for a little bit before using. You can also make the ganache a day ahead and store in the refrigerator, just bring to room temperature and whisk before spreading. If you make it ahead and it's too thick to spread you might have to heat it just a little. Will keep in the refrigerator several days.
