What you do for the chocolate fudge frosting
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate at high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until most of the chocolate is melted.
- Stir until completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter at medium speed until pale and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat for 1 minute, scraping down the side of the bowl.
- At low speed, slowly beat in the confectioners' sugar, about 1 minute.
What you do to decorate the cupcakes
- Put the chocolate fudge frosting in a pastry bag with a #5 Pastry Tip
- Using the ice-cream frosting technique (see image below) start from the center of the cupcake and spiral out one time to the edge of the cupcake
- Switch to a new pastry bag with #5 pastry Tip and fill it with Nutella
- Starting at the center spiral out to about the size of a silver dollar and trace up to make a pointed tip
- Insert one cookie at an angle into the frosting.
