Nutella Ice Cream Recipe
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring Cups
- freezer-safe containera
- Spatula
- Whisk or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 500 ml Double Cream
- 250 ml Nutella
- 397Â g Condensed Milk
Instructions
- Combine the condensed milk, double cream, and Nutella in a large bowl or stand mixer.
- Whisk for about 5 minutes until the mixture reaches a thick, mousse-like consistency.
- Transfer to a loaf tin, cover, and freeze for 7-8 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
- For an extra treat, garnish with chopped hazelnuts and drizzle with chocolate sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream and condensed milk for the best results. Lower-fat options won’t yield the same texture.
- Chop mix-ins finely, as they’ll freeze hard in the ice cream.
- For a lighter, airy ice cream, whip the cream first. Skipping this step results in a thicker, denser texture.
