Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Nutella divide into two parts
  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • Ferrero Rocher chocolates

Instructions

  • Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line your cupcake pans with paper liners.
  • Whisk the eggs together in a large bowl until they’re broken up.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of Nutella to the eggs in the bowl, reserving the remaining 1 cup of Nutella for the frosting. Whisk the Nutella and eggs together until shiny, smooth batter flows from the whisk.
  • Add the all-purpose flour to the bowl, and gently stir it in with a spatula.
  • Stir just until the last streaks of flour disappear. Don’t stir too much and overwork the batter, or else your cupcakes will be tough!
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each one about 1/3rd full, then add Ferrero Rocher in the middle; then cover the chocolate with batter until 2/3rd full.
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 F for about 13-15 minutes, until the tops are dry, puffed, and a little cracked. They should spring back when pressed lightly with your fingertips. Allow them to cool at room temperature on a wire rack while you prepare the easy (two-ingredient!) frosting.
  • Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of Nutella and the cream cheese.
  • Beat them together on medium speed with the paddle attachment until your frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Top the cooled cupcakes with a swirl of frosting.
