Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • (1) Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Loaf pan or airtight container
  • 1 Plastic wrap or lid for storage

Ingredients
  

Basic Ingredients:

  • 1 cup 300g Nutella
  • 2 cups 480ml heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can 14oz/397g sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon 5ml vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional Add-Ins & Toppings:

  • ¼ cup 30g chopped hazelnuts
  • ¼ cup 40g chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup 60ml caramel sauce
  • Extra Nutella for drizzling

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Nutella Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine Nutella, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
    Stir until fully blended.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

  • In another bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks (about 3–4 minutes).

Step 3: Combine the Mixtures

  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture using a spatula.
    Fold slowly to maintain the airiness of the whipped cream.

Step 4: Add Mix-Ins (Optional)

  • If using hazelnuts, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce, fold them in at this stage.
    You can also drizzle in extra Nutella for a marbled effect.
  • Step 5: Freeze the Ice Cream
  • Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container.
    Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it against the surface to prevent ice crystals), and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Once frozen, scoop the Nutella ice cream into bowls or cones.
    Top with extra Nutella drizzle, nuts, or whipped cream for a decadent treat!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Softening Tip: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for a creamier texture.
  • Churned Version: If using an ice cream maker, simply mix all ingredients and churn according to your machine’s instructions for an ultra-smooth finish.
  • Dairy-Free Alternative: Use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream and a dairy-free chocolate hazelnut spread.
  • Flavor Boost: Add 1 tablespoon of espresso powder for a Nutella Mocha Ice Cream variation.
