• 45+ Irresistible Nutella Desserts That Will Make You Lick All Your Fingers

Nutella was first manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero in 1946 and has become a world-famous pantry staple. I have found the most reliable recipes that use Nutella, so you can enjoy it in as many ways as possible. You can thank me later!

Nutella Dessert Recipes

1. Nutella Cupcakes

Cute and creamy Nutella cupcakes have the most amazing chocolate hazelnut taste and soft texture. A luxurious Nutella frosting - chocolate pastry cream-based - elevates them to a more sophisticated style, and what's more, a surprise awaits you as you take the first bite, a gooey Nutella filling. No one will be able to get enough.

2. Nutella Puff Pastry Christmas Tree

I can't wait for the holiday season, and I'll definitely make this Nutella Christmas dessert recipe! What's even better is that it is so easy, yet the result is a stunning and super festive dessert. It makes a great centerpiece for a dessert table, and the dusting of powdered sugar could almost be snow.

3. Nutella Puff Pastry Twists

Without a doubt, this is one of the easiest Nutella dessert recipes! Elevate store-bought puff pastry and create a warm, buttery sweet treat. Just two ingredients and 30 minutes of your time. Honestly, that's it. Nutella stuffed puff pastry desserts are a delicious way to enjoy your favorite spread in a new way.

4. Nutella Frosting

Turn any dessert into a Nutella dessert with an amazingly rich, tangy, whipped Nutella frosting. Nutella does not work as icing on its own because its texture is too sticky, and it is not stable enough to stand on its own.

But a few extra ingredients transforms it into Nutella mousseline cream (German buttercream), and then you can use it to frost baked goods as much as you like!

5. Ferrero Rocher Cake

A Ferrero Rocher cake is certainly the ultimate celebration dessert. Layers of moist hazelnut sponge cake slathered in Nutella mousseline cream, crunchy hazelnuts, and crushed Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Serve a showstopper cake like this at big events; it makes a perfect centerpiece for a fancy dessert table.

6. Nutella Babka

Who else likes the sound of warm, fluffy, buttery brioche dough twisted around rich homemade Nutella filling? It's one of my favorite Nutella desserts. Babka is a yeasted dough, yet there are no fancy ingredients or equipment, so this Nutella recipe is totally doable for beginner bakers. What's more, I'll teach you the step-by-step shaping and twisting process so you get it right the first time.

If you love Babka as much as me, try my Walnut Babka and Apple Cinnamon Babka recipe as well!

7. Nutella Cake

Unbelievably, this impressive-looking dessert is actually a super easy Nutella cake recipe that is beginner-friendly! Moist chocolate sponge cake layers are stacked with Nutella frosting and decorated with piping and chopped nuts. Make this Nutella dessert recipe for a birthday or special occasion, but be warned, it will disappear fast.

8. Homemade Nutella

Make your own Nutella in just 15 minutes using a few simple ingredients. Homemade Nutella has the ubiquitous deep nutty flavor and delicious cocoa afternotes but is very well balanced in sweetness compared to the store-bought Nutella version. Use it to make easy Nutella desserts, or just eat it with a spoon!

9. Homemade Ferrero Rocher

Without a doubt, Ferrero-Rocher chocolates are the most famous Nutella dessert. Over 3.6 billion Ferrero Rochers are sold each year in over 40 countries, and you have undoubtedly eaten them yourself.

But did you know you can also make them at home using chocolate and Nutella? Homemade chocolate truffles like this Ferrero Rocher recipe are a lot easier than you might think and make great gifts for loved ones.

10. Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nutella cookies with chewy edges, soft gooey centers, and a Nutella swirl. Need I say more? This Nutella stuffed cookie recipe with chocolate chips has it all going on. A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and brings out all the flavors. It's irresistible!

11. Nutella Cheesecake (no bake)

What could be easier than a no bake Nutella cheesecake? It's rich, it's creamy, it's decadent, and it's oh so simple. So if you're looking for easy Nutella desserts, no-bake cheesecake is the one for you.

There's a triple punch of Nutella with Nutella cheesecake filling, Nutella ganache topping, and a dose of drizzled Nutella on top to garnish. Without a doubt, Nutella fans will be satisfied.

12. Mini Peanut Butter Nutella Cups

Be warned; you won't be able to stop snacking on mini peanut butter Nutella cups. I think these cups count as healthy Nutella desserts, too, because they are so small, and you can enjoy the taste of Nutella without overdoing it.

Also, Nutella cups are so easy to make that you can knock them up quickly and enjoy them in no time.

13. Nutella French Toast

I'm serving myself this as a Nutella breakfast recipe every weekend from now on. Recipes with Nutella and bread don't have to be boring. And who wouldn't love buttery French toast stuffed with Nutella? Soak brioche in a mixture of milk, sugar, and eggs, sandwich it with Nutella, and then fry in butter. Dreamy indeed.

Enjoy Nutella French toast warm and gooey with a scoop of ice cream; it's beyond irresistible.

14. Nutella Swirled Banana Bread

Wondering how to make banana bread even better? Add a swirl of Nutella. Banana and Nutella are a flavor combination made in heaven; you certainly won't regret making this Nutella banana bread. It's one of my favorite easy Nutella recipes.

15. Fudgy Nutella Brownies

Make sure your pantry is stocked because this brownie recipe requires an entire jar of Nutella. It makes them super fudgy, super chocolatey, and super delicious. Furthermore, they come together in one bowl and are super easy to make! Get baking.

16. Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

You only need five basic ingredients to make Nutella Rice Krispie sweet treats. But the pretty marbled chocolate topping makes them look like you went to a lot more effort! Nutella treats like this work well for parties and dessert tables, as you can make them in advance and simply store them until needed.

17. Baked Nutella Cheesecake

There are more steps and processes with a baked cheesecake, but the result is undeniably worth it. The taste and texture of baked Nutella cheesecake with Oreo crust are insane!

The finishing touches are some chocolate whipped cream and Ferrero Rocher candies that elevate it to the sublime. Plus, find many handy tips in this recipe on baking with a water bath and preventing leaks and crack in cheesecake.

18. Nutella Tart

Imagine a crisp hazelnut pie crust and a super simple yet super creamy Nutella tart filling. Sound good? Then simply put, you have to make this. The fudginess of the filling is insane. Consequently, it's fast becoming one of my favorite Nutella desserts.

Serve Nutella tart as an elegant dessert for dinner parties or bring it along to potluck; everyone will love you for it.

19. Nutella Truffles

Now, this is something special. Rich, dark chocolate is melted, infused with Nutella and Frangelico (hazelnut liquor), and then rolled in toasted, chopped hazelnuts. Homemade truffles are so much fun to make, and this boozy Nutella dessert makes for a beautiful gift or sweet party appetizer.

20. Brownie Bottom Nutella Pie

I love a dessert that looks more complex than it is. It's an easy way to impress your friends and family whilst saving you precious time! Simply mold the brownie crust in a springform pan, line it with melted chocolate to prevent a soggy base, and then pour in the no-bake Nutella pie filling. It's divine!

21. Cinnamon Sugar Nutella Quesadilla

Make Nutella brunch parties a thing. Sweet quesadillas are a weakness of mine, and cinnamon with Nutella is a flavor combination worth trying. A pile of sweet gooey Nutella quesadillas will taste so perfect with hot coffee on colder days. Moreover, using store-bought tortilla wraps makes it easy and hassle-free. Indeed, I'd eat this every day!

22. Nutella Cruffins

Jump aboard the ever-growing cruffin obsession. You might think this Nutella dessert recipe will be complicated, but believe me; it isn't! You can turn store-bought crescent rolls into scrumptious, irresistible Nutella cruffins using just three basic ingredients. Serve Nutella cruffins warm for breakfast or even as a sumptuous dessert with ice cream.

23. Nutella Cheesecake Mousse

No eggs, no cooking, and no complex ingredients; it's a yes from me. Cute glasses of Nutella cheesecake mousse are super simple but have a deliciously rich Nutella taste and smooth mousse texture. Toasted , chopped hazelnuts and chocolate shavings garnish them to perfection. They work so well as individual Nutella desserts for a dinner party.

24. Ferrero Rocher éclairs

Buttery, rich and elegant eclairs filled with a rich Nutella mousse and topped with milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts for that Ferrero Rocher taste and texture. What could be better? This is a super elegant Nutella recipe that will surely impress.

New to making choux pastry? Check out my eclair recipe to make them perfectly the first time.

25. Nutella Cream Puffs

Imagine biting into one of these! First, make your choux pastry (pate a choux) and bake the choux buns until golden brown and puffed up. Then pipe Nutella cream filling into the buns and dip them into melted chocolate. Garnish with more chocolate decorations or chopped nuts; this simply has to be one of the most decadent Nutella desserts.

26. Nutella S’mores Bars

Who else loved S'mores? What if I told you that you could get the taste and texture of everyone's favorite summer treat but with no campfire needed? Indeed, the smell of warm Graham crackers and vanilla coming from your oven is arguably better.

Folds of chewy brown sugar, Graham Cracker crust, marshmallow, and a thick layer of Nutella combine into one easy, sliceable dessert. In conclusion, you won't want to miss this one.

27. Nutella mousse cakes

Searching for an elegant, dainty French-style dessert using Nutella? I got you. A cocoa-hazelnut cookie base is topped with a stunning dome of classic Nutella mousse with Nutella filling. Finally, a Ferrero Rocher perches on top. Perhaps not one of the more simple Nutella desserts, but arguably well worth the effort for special occasions.

28. Ferrero Rocher Macarons

Serve Ferrero Rocher macarons as petit fours after dinner, or make them as gifts! Nutty hazelnut macaron shells, rich Nutella ganache filling, dark chocolate, and chopped hazelnut topping make them a really tasty Nutella dessert to make.

First time making macarons? Take my macaron online class to perfect your technique.

29. Mini Ricotta Donuts Stuffed with Nutella

Unbelievably, the secret to these wonderfully dense yet moist and fluffy donuts is ricotta cheese. Whilst you might think it will make them taste cheesy, think again! Instead, it gives the most amazing texture - they are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The dream. Indeed, with the addition of gooey Nutella filling, this might be the perfect dessert.

30. Nutella Cheesecake Chocolate Cups

Who wouldn't love a bite-sized cheesecake? And with only five ingredients, it could be argued that this is the dream no-bake dessert with Nutella. Furthermore, the creamy Nutella cheesecake mixture is covered in a thick chocolate shell - trust me, you won't be able to stop eating them.

31. Nutella Mug Cake

Nutella mug cake has to be one of the best inventions, and it's a Nutella dessert you can make in the microwave! Plus, you won't believe how easy it is with only three ingredients. And so fast! It's undeniably delicious.

Make Nutella mug cake as a quick late-night snack, but be warned, you might be forced to share it.

32. Brown Butter Nutella Bars

Nutella cookie bars are indeed a favorite of mine. Brown butter cookie dough is baked with a thick layer of Nutella in the center, and as a result, they are buttery, chewy, and utterly irresistible. And what's more, you only need eight ingredients!

Serve as a coffee-time snack, or these cookie bars make a great grab-and-go dessert.

33. Nutella Churro Cookies

I love a mixture of two famous desserts. And I love churros and cookies! Freeze a scoop of Nutella to wrap the dough around, and then you get a gooey chocolate hazelnut centre, too.

34. Nutella Brownie Mousse Cake

The glossy coating on this mousse cake is pretty special, and I can imagine it causing a stir at dinner parties! With a dense and fudgy brownie base, a light and delicate Nutella mousse layer, and a glaze icing to finish, it surely has to become one of your favorite Nutella desserts ever.

35. Nutella Ice Cream

Make Nutella ice cream, and you'll never go back! Nutella spread mixed with a creamy sweet cream base makes the most incredible frozen dessert. It's super silky and utterly delicious! Top with a Ferrero Rocher for an elegant garnish.

36. Nutella-Stuffed Churro Bites

I love a bite-sized dessert, and you don't get much cuter than this. All you need are some basic ingredients and a mini muffin tray. The mini churro bites are coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar blend and stuffed with gooey Nutella for the most satisfying treat ever.

37. Dreamy Nutella Mousse Pie

Sometimes, you wish you could eat a photo, and that's how I feel looking at this Nutella dessert. The crunchy cookie base, Nutella mousse filling, and whipped cream topping simply seem too good to be true. It's definitely at the top of my list of Nutella desserts to make next.

38. Nutella Creme Brûlée

I love a new take on a classic! Creme Brulee is a French dessert made from custard, topped with a caramelized sugar layer that cracks as you break into it to get to the smooth and silky filling. In this twist, Nutella custard adds even more chocolate hazelnut goodness.

39. Funfetti Nutella Churro Cookies

Here's a Nutella-shaped twist on a classic mash-up recipe! Churro cookies have that slight spice added to the chewy texture, and funfetti adds some extra fun and a pop of color to the proceedings.

You should try my Funfetti cookies!

40. Nutella Brioche Buns

An elegant brioche bun might look complex, but it is much easier to make than you might think! Soft, buttery brioche with a smooth Nutella spread filling, finished with a sweet raspberry glaze and a dusting of powdered sugar. It's pretty as a picture and unbelievably tasty, too.

41. Nutella bomb pancake

How delicious do these sound? A sphere of fluffy buttermilk pancake balls filled with Nutella must surely be the best thing ever. Whilst you might need a few extra bits of kit to make them, it is definitely worth it.

42. Nutella Stuffed Churros

While churros taste good regardless, I am sure you will agree that Nutella might improve them to new heights! That crisp and sugary coating gives an iconic crunch, and then you reach the gooey chocolate Nutella filling. In conclusion, bake them.

43. Nutella Cream Puffs

I love a cream puff. Sometimes known as a profiterole or choux bun, they are crisp yet dainty, and because they puff up when baked, you can fill them. Here, they are piped with a Nutella cream filling. And I'm sure you'll agree, it surely looks irresistible.

44. Portuguese Nutella custard tarts

Here's a fun twist on a Portuguese classic. The famous Pasteis de Nata gets a Nutella upgrade, and it is seriously worth trying! But make sure you bake enough of them, as these dainty Nutella desserts will disappear fast.

45. Nutella Choux Donuts

If you like profiteroles and donuts, you simply must try this recipe! A piped choux pastry ring houses a decadent Nutella filling, with extra on top and crunchy hazelnuts. It's to die for!

You will adore the texture of these cookie bars with Nutella. It oozes in the center, sandwiched between crunchy yet chewy oats. Make a tray of these cookie bars, as they are perfect to serve alongside coffee or as a grab-and-go snack.
