Indulge in the creamy, dreamy goodness of homemade Nutella ice cream! This rich and velvety dessert, made with just five simple ingredients, is churned to perfection using a Cuisinart ice cream maker. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a decadent treat that’s easy to make and impossible to resist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup Nutella (or any hazelnut-cocoa spread)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (do not reduce or substitute)
  • 1 + 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

In a blender, combine Nutella, sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on low speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Avoid high speed to prevent curdling.

Step 2: Chill the Mixture

Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until thoroughly chilled. This ensures better churning results.

Step 3: Churn the Ice Cream

Pour the chilled mixture into your Cuisinart ice cream maker and churn according to the machine’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes). The mixture should thicken into a soft-serve consistency.

Step 4: Freeze Until Firm

Scoop the churned ice cream into an airtight freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
Serve scoops in waffle cones or bowls. Add toppings like chopped hazelnuts, whipped cream, or drizzle with extra Nutella for an indulgent twist.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use cold ingredients for smoother churning and better texture.
  • Don’t overfill your ice cream maker; leave room for expansion during churning.

Storage & Reheating:
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
