Nutella Ice Cream Recipe with chocolate hazelnut flavored chunks.
Print

Easy Homemade Nutella Ice Cream

This is a very rich, creamy, and easy ice cream. Be sure add plenty of hazelnut flavored chocolate chunks and roasted hazelnuts. I use the pre-roasted ones from Trader Joe's. The Frangelico or vodka are completely optional, but if you have some the Frangelico adds a little extra flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups evaporated skim milk
  • ½ cup Nutella, best measured by weight (145 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 6 tablespoons sugar (75 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup (40 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon Dutch process cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon vodka or Frangelico (optional)

Chocolate Chunks

  • 3 oz chopped dark or hazelnut flavored chocolate or ½ cup chips
  • 2 teaspoons Nutella
  • ⅓ cup chopped roasted hazelnuts

Instructions

  • Put the evaporated milk and chocolate hazelnut spread in a blender container and blend until smooth. Add all remaining ingredients (not chocolate chunks) and blend for about a minute or until frothy. Chill the mixture for about 20 minutes or until you are ready to churn.
  • Blend for about a minute, then pour into ice cream maker and churn as per manufacturer's directions OR chill for at least 20 minutes then churn.
  • Churn using your ice cream maker's directions. While the ice cream is churning, make the chocolate chunks.

Chocolate Hazelnut Chunks and Shell

  • Put the chopped chocolate and bit of Nutella in a small bowl set over simmering water. Melt gently. Remove from heat and cool.
  • To make the chunks, you can drizzle the mixture onto a parchment lined plate, freeze, then break up and pack into the ice cream OR you can drizzle it right onto the ice cream before packing.

Notes

Version 2:  This version is richer and doesn't call for corn syrup, sugar and cocoa.  The extra Nutella takes care of that ! Use 150 grams of evaporated milk, 150 grams of Nutella (that's a little over half cup, it's very dense!), and 150 grams of cream.  Blend it all together, then churn in the ice cream maker.  Make the hazelnut chocolate chunks and add them along with roasted hazelnuts as you pack it in in the containers.
