My easy recipe for small batch Nutella Ice Cream is sure to be a new family favorite. No boiling batter and waiting for it to cool. Simply mix the batter and use your favorite ice cream machine to churn the ice cream.
If you love Nutella, this ice cream is for you. Even if you haven’t tasted Nutella before ((gasp) at such a thought), but you like chocolate I think you’d like this. In case you aren’t familiar; Nutella is a spread made of hazelnuts.

How to make Nutella Ice Cream
Ok, now back with the ice cream. This by far was probably the easiest of ice creams I’ve made to date. No whisking egg yolks, simmering milk and eggs, mixing–then returning back to a simmer. Just throw the ingredients into the mixer get them well incorporated and throw them in your ice cream attachment. That’s it! No fuss ice cream at its best!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with making ice cream–you might wonder why you need to add some vodka to this mix. It’s so that your ice cream doesn’t freeze to a solid block of “ice”… this will allow for the creamy consistency through out. If you have an ice cream attachment/machine, and you like nutella, please give this recipe a try! It’s amazing!!!

Yes, Nutella tastes great not only churned into ice cream, but also drizzled on top.
Apparently, back during World War II there was a shortage of cocoa. This brilliant man, Pietro Ferrero, decided to grind hazelnuts since they had an abundant supply of them. Thus the birth of Nutella!

I'm so glad you tried the recipe and liked it. That was a nice intro to Nutella for those poor souls who haven't already discovered it. I think I actually prefer the taste of this sort of ice cream to the cooked kind with egg yolks. I'm sure that's just a personal preference but this method's certainly much easier!
