What can I say about this incredibly smooth, creamy, and delicious ice cream? We are Nutella lovers in this household. I decided to experiment and came up with a recipe befitting a king! The richness of flavor and velvety consistency is incomparable to other ice creams. All my family could say after tasting this for the first time was wow. I hope you are wowed too. This ice cream is better when it is firm rather than in soft serve form because the creaminess is more defined. I usually wash an empty ice cream container to put the finished product in and it works great!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This homemade Nutella ice cream is a wonderful treat. Rich and decadent, the ice cream is smooth, creamy, and filled with chocolate and hazelnut flavors. The crunch of chopped hazelnuts throughout is unexpected and pleasant.

    Try this method for an even creamier experience. I made the Homemade Nutella Ice Cream the other day, only this time I cooked the eggs to see how it would turn out. I beat the eggs and sugar together and then added the milk. I cooked it while whisking until it got to a scald temperature. At this point, I noticed it was thickening up like a custard so I took it off the heat and set it aside. I then put the Nutella in a bowl and while slowly adding half of the cream, I blended it until smooth. Then I added the remaining cream to the custard which helped to cool it down so that I could combine the custard mixture with the Nutella mixture. At this point, it was ready for the ice cream freezer and I followed the above directions. When the ice cream was finished, I placed it in my refrigerator's freezer until firm. I was amazed that the ice cream was even creamier by following this method but whichever one you use will turn out fantastic!
