Hazelnut Frosting
- 25 g butter, at room temperature (2 tablespoons)
- 65 g hazelnut paste (1/4 cup)
- 20 g confectioners sugar (2 tablespoons)
- 0.5 g kosher salt (1/8 teaspoon)
- Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and paddle on medium-high speed until it is completely smooth.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- This is a small amount of ingredients so use your granny mixer now or take on the task by hand in a medium bowl.
- Add the hazelnut paste, confectioners sugar, and salt and mix on high speed until the frosting is fluffy and has no lumps in it, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for 15 seconds, just to be sure everything is nice and smooth.
- Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
- Bring to room temperature before using.
