18 Fruits that Go Well with Nutella
We all know that Nutella is one of the best things to ever happen to this planet, but what if we told you there was an even better option?
What if we told you that it’s possible to combine your favorite chocolate spread with fruit and make a delicious treat even better?
It’s true!
So, what fruits go well with Nutella?
The best fruits to pair with Nutella are bananas, strawberries, and blueberries.
These fruits are all sweet, but also have some tartness that balances out the sweetness of Nutella. They also have a firm texture that provides a good contrast when eaten together with Nutella.

18 Fruits that Go Well with Nutella
Let’s take a look at some fruits that go well with Nutella:
1. Banana
Bananas are already sweet enough on their own, so they don’t need much help from the chocolatey goodness of Nutella.
However, if you’re looking for something a little different than just plain bananas, try dipping them in Nutella before adding them to your smoothie or putting them on top of ice cream.
The combination of creamy banana and rich chocolate will blow your mind!
2. Apple
Apples are sweet and tart at the same time, which makes them a perfect addition to Nutella-based desserts.
You can also try adding apples to muffins or cakes that have been frosted with Nutella.
3. Pineapple
Pineapple is yet another fruit that goes well with Nutella, but it has its own unique twist: it brings a tropical flair to any dish!
Try adding pineapple chunks or slices along with some nuts and honey—the combination will make your taste buds dance!
4. Peaches
The texture of peaches makes them an excellent partner for the creamy texture of Nutella.
The combination also has great visual appeal: the smooth orange color of peach against the brownish tones in Nutella make for a stunning presentation.
If you’re having guests over for brunch or breakfast, try serving a fruit salad up alongside a couple slices of toasted bread topped with peanut butter and honey (another classic pairing).
5. Apricots
Apricots taste amazing with Nutella!
They’re sweet and soft, so they don’t overpower the chocolatey goodness of the spread.
We like to dip them in our Nutella—it gives us a little more control over how much chocolate we get on each bite, and it makes the fruit last longer.
6. Pears
Pears are another great option for pairing with Nutella.
We slice them into small pieces and arrange them around the edge of a plate before dipping them in our Nutella (which we’ve warmed up slightly).
This way, when we pick up one of these slices and take a bite, all of the flavors come together at once!
7. Cherries
Cherries are very sweet on their own so we recommend using sparingly when eating them with Nutella.
However, if you don’t mind a little bit of tartness in your sweet treats then this combination might be right up your alley!
8. Coconut
When you combine coconut and Nutella, it’s like a tropical vacation in your mouth!
We’ve found that the best way to eat them together is to spread some Nutella on a slice of bread and then sprinkle some fresh coconut over it.
The sweetness of the Nutella and the crunchy texture of the coconut complement each other perfectly.
9. Strawberries
Our favorite way to eat these is on top of a slice of bread or English muffin that has been spread with Nutella (and maybe some peanut butter).
We also like them by themselves if we’re really hungry!
10. Oranges
We love Nutella and oranges together, but there’s a lot of ways to make them work.
Our favorite way is to get a bunch of oranges, peel them, slice them in half, then drizzle on some Nutella.
Then you can eat them all by hand or with a spoon, depending on how much you want to make a mess.
11. Blueberries
Nutella and blueberries are the perfect marriage of sweet and tart.
Together, they make a delicious dessert that’s easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
All you need is:
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- A microwave safe bowl
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- A spoon (optional)
Here’s how to do it:
- First, put your Nutella in the microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about 10 seconds at 50% power.
- This will help soften it up so it’s easier to mix with the blueberries later on.
- Next, add your blueberries and sugar (if desired).
- Stir until everything is evenly mixed together and coated with Nutella. You can also use a spoon if you want!
- That’s all there is to it! Enjoy your delicious treat!
12. Raspberries
We spread Nutella onto a slice of toast or English muffin, then place raspberries on top of that layer before spreading another layer of Nutella over those raspberries (we like to add some whipped cream as well).
Once all layers are done being spread on top of one another, we drizzle melted chocolate over top.
13. Mangoes
Mango and Nutella might sound like an odd combination, but it’s surprisingly delicious.
Here are three ways you can combine mangoes and Nutella for something delicious:
- Cut up some fresh mangoes into cubes, add a bit of water, then microwave them until they’re soft. After they’ve cooled down a bit, mix in a few spoonfuls of Nutella, then top your fruit with the mixture.
- Mix together a few tablespoons of Nutella with some vanilla yogurt and serve it over your favorite kind of fresh fruit—mango is an especially great choice!
- Add some Nutella to your favorite pancake recipe and top it off with sliced fresh mangoes!
14. Grapes
What do you get when you combine Nutella and grapes?
A trifecta of deliciousness.
Nutella is already a dreamy spread that tastes amazing on toast or in a sandwich. But when you combine it with grapes, you create something even better.
The tartness of the grapes balances out the sweetness of Nutella and makes for a truly unforgettable combination.
Have you ever considered making a dessert sandwich out of these two ingredients?
This sandwich is very simple to make and it can be eaten as a snack or as a meal.
- First, you will need to cut your bread into halves and then spread some Nutella on it.
- Then add some sliced grapes to the sandwich and place it in the oven for about 10 minutes until it’s nice and warm.
- The best part about this recipe is that you can enjoy it with friends or family members!
15. Papayas
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I can’t decide whether I want Nutella or papaya today?
Well, if so, we’ve got just the thing for you.
Here are two ways you can combine these two delicious treats into a single treat that will blow your mind:
- Nutella-dipped papaya slices: What’s not to love about this combo? The sweetness of the fruit and its natural tartness pair perfectly with the chocolatey goodness of Nutella. All you need to do is cut up some papaya into thin slices and drizzle them with a little bit of Nutella on both sides. Then just enjoy!
- Papaya and Nutella smoothie: This is kind of like having dessert for breakfast—but it’s totally fine because it’s good for you! All you have to do is blend together some frozen papaya chunks (or fresh if you have them on hand), milk or yogurt (your choice), vanilla extract, honey if desired, and Nutella until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy while watching Netflix in bed!
16. Kiwis
Nutella and kiwis are two of the most delicious things on planet Earth, so it’s only natural that you’d want to combine them.
Here are two ways you can do just that:
Make a Nutella and Kiwi Sandwich
It’s simple: spread a little bit of Nutella on each slice of bread, then add sliced kiwis on top. That’s all!
Make Nutella Kiwi Muffins
This recipe takes a little more time, but the result is well worth it.
- Just mix together 1 cup flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter, then stir until combined.
- Add 1 egg and 1/4 cup milk (or water), mixing until smooth.
- Finally, stir in about 2 tablespoons Nutella for every muffin pan you have (so if you have 6 pans, use 12 tablespoons).
- our into muffin pans and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes (or until golden brown).
17. Watermelon
When you think of watermelon, you probably don’t think of Nutella. But we’re here to tell you that maybe you should!
Here are two ways you can combine Nutella and Watermelon:
1. Nutella-Watermelon Smoothie
Don’t be afraid of this one: if you blend your nutella and watermelon just right, you’ll have a refreshing smoothie that tastes like summer in a glass.
The best part about this recipe? It’s super simple—you only need three ingredients to make it happen!
- Just blend together 1 cup of whole milk or almond milk with 1 cup frozen watermelon chunks (frozen will keep the consistency from getting too watery), and add 1 tablespoon Nutella (or more if you want).
- Pour into a glass, add a few ice cubes, and enjoy!
2. Watermelon Ice Cream With Nutella Swirls
This ice cream is perfect for those hot summer days when you just want to cool off with something sweet but not too heavy on your stomach.
The swirls of Nutella give this frozen treat a little extra crunchiness that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
18. Clementines
Nutella and clementines are a match made in heaven.
They’re both sweet, they’re both delicious, and they both go well with a nice cup of hot cocoa.
But if you want to take things up a notch, here are two ways to combine Nutella and Clementines:
1. Nutella-Clementine Cake
This recipe takes your basic cake recipe and adds in some aromatic clementines for a little extra something special—and it’s not just the taste that’s going to make your mouth water!
The sweet smell of those clementines will fill your kitchen as they bake in the oven, making your house smell like Christmas has come early.
If you feel like being extra festive this holiday season, why not serve this cake at your next dinner party? Don’t forget the candles!
2. Nutella-Clementine Milkshake
This milkshake marries two of our favorite things: creamy chocolatey goodness and tangy citrusy goodness!
No matter how much time it takes you to make it, we promise it will be worth every second. If you’re looking for something quick and easy but still delicious (and decadent), this is definitely the way to go!
