Nutellino (Homemade Nutella Liqueur)

If you’re looking for a quick and easy liqueur to make, with an unforgettable flavor, Nutellino is the recipe for you. Made with just a few ingredients, including much-loved Nutella, this liqueur takes just 20 minutes to prepare and needs to rest in the fridge for 24 hours before serving. That way you skip the long steeping and resting times of liqueurs like Limoncello or Nocino, because it is made with fresh liquid ingredients such as cream and milk.

Nutellino is the classic liqueur that tempts even people who aren’t fond of alcoholic drinks, because it contains only a very small amount of pure grain alcohol, while the main flavor is the hazelnut in the Nutella, together with the heavy cream, which gives the liqueur a fuller, rounder taste.

Ideal to make during the Christmas season, perhaps as a gift for friends or neighbors, Nutellino makes a sweet ending to Christmas lunch, served with a swirl of Whipped Cream alongside a nice slice of homemade Pandoro or Panettone. We’re sure it will be a big hit.

If by some lucky chance you have some Nutella left over, or want to use it up before someone else finishes it, try the Nutella-Stuffed Pancakes for an afternoon snack, the Nutella Braid for breakfast and the rich Nutella Tiramisù for a special dinner.

Now grab your Nutella and tie on your apron: let’s make this extra-creamy Nutellino together.
