For the most decadent flavor, use a high-quality chocolate-hazelnut spread. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for achieving an ultra-smooth, lump-free frosting. Adjust the amount of heavy cream to reach your desired consistency. Add more for a softer frosting or less for a firmer one. Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature before using, and re-whip briefly to restore its creamy texture. Optional: For a richer, darker flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder along with the confectioners' sugar.

StepGradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time. Beat well after each addition, ensuring the sugar is fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to maintain a smooth consistency. After each cup of sugar, beat on high for 10-20 seconds.
