Homemade Nutella Mousse

Celebrate World Nutella Day on February 5th

By Sara Yaniga, Macaroni Kid Chicago (Midtown) January 6, 2023

Growing up Nutella was a special treat in our family.  Every so often my father would shop at a specialty grocery store and come home with a container of the delicious treat.  We would spread it on waffles, graham crackers, wafers and pretty much anything we had on hand.  I suspect my siblings were just dipping their spoons straight into the jar when no one was looking too.

In recognition of World Nutella Day on February 5th I would like to share a simple, yet scrumptious, a recipe that any Nutella lover will appreciate.

Using only 3 ingredients and minimal kitchen tools, this recipe is so easy to make and the clean-up is a breeze!















Tools Needed:

- Large Bowl

- Small Bowl

- Mixer

- Large Spoon

- Spatula

Ingredients Needed:

- 3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream

- 1/3 cup Sugar

- 1 cup Nutella

Optional ingredients can include:

 chocolate or caramel sauce, sprinkles, graham crackers or wafers as toppings


Mix 3 cups heavy whipping cream and 1/3 cup sugar with a mixer until heavy whipped peaks form.  (This takes about 8-9 minutes with my hand mixer. Do not over mix as you will end up with butter!)

Using a spoon remove some of the homemade whipped cream and set it aside in a small bowl.

Next, gently fold in 1 cup of Nutella using a spatula until the mix is a light brown whipped mousse.

Serve in a bowl, top with some whipped cream you set aside, and use any toppings you prefer.  Enjoy!
