- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 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
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.
Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until thoroughly chilled. This ensures better churning results.
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.
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.
