Homemade Nutella Ice Cream Recipes

HOW TO MAKE NUTELLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• If you're using an ice cream maker, freeze the bowl. Ice cream makers come in lots of different shapes and sizes, but they almost always have a large, removable bowl that can be removed. Put this bowl in a plastic bag, then put the bag in the freezer for about 10 to 24 hours until it is completely frozen. The bag helps prevent freezer burn. This is important because there is a layer of liquid coolant between the inner and outer surfaces of the bowl. Letting it freeze completely ensures the bowl will stay cold as you make the ice cream (since you can't run the machine in the freezer).
• Whisk the eggs together in a bowl. Use both the whites and the yolks. Beat them with the whisk for about two minutes. Stop when you reach a uniform pale yellow color and a light, fluffy texture.
• Gradually whisk in the sugar. Add a little at a time over about one minute as you whisk continuously. When the sugar is distributed evenly, you can proceed.
• Whisk in the Nutella. Use a spatula as needed to get all of the Nutella out of the measuring cup. Continue whisking until the spread is blended evenly with the egg mixture. If Nutella gets stuck to the whisk, use a fork or spatula to pull it off.
• Add cream and milk. Add each of these a little at a time, whisking as you go. Stir to combine evenly. After this, put your mixture in the fridge while you proceed through the next step. You want your ingredients as cold as possible when you make your ice cream.
• Assemble the ice cream maker. For most models, this just means taking the bowl out of the freezer and putting it in the machine. You may also need to attach the stirring paddle to the machine or make other connections - consult the ice cream maker's directions for specifics. You shouldn't waste time here - you want to finish before the bowl starts to warm up. A wasted minute or two won't hurt you, but you'll want to move on as quickly as possible.
• Run the ice cream maker with the liquid mixture inside. Add your chilled ingredients to the mixing bowl, shut the lid (if your machine has one), and turn the machine on. The mixing paddle will begin to turn, churning the liquid ingredients. Now, let the machine run for 20-30 minutes without interrupting.
• Serve immediately for a soft texture. After 20-30 minutes, check on your ice cream. By this point, it should have gained a semi-solid consistency. If you want soft serve-style ice cream, you can serve it as soon as the ingredients reach a smooth, soft texture. Turn off the machine and spoon into cones or bowls and enjoy.
• Transfer to freezer for a firmer texture. If you want a more traditional ice cream, transfer the soft serve to an airtight container and store it in the freezer until firm (usually about eight hours). If you've recently finished a carton of store-bought ice cream, you can just rinse and dry the container and use it to store your ice cream.

HOMEMADE NUTELLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 2 minutes.
• 2. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, 1 minute more.
• 3. Add the Nutella and whisk to blend.
• 4. Pour in the heavy cream and milk a little at a time and whisk to blend.
• 5. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
• 6. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the hazelnuts, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
• 7. Transfer the ice cream mixture into a container with a lid and place in the freezer for at least 8 hours or until firm.
• 8. Tip: 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!
• 9. Enjoy!
• 10. 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 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 together 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 choose to use will turn out fantastic!
• 11. Per some member's concerns about using eggs or not, I made the ice cream without them. I was not impressed to say the least so I took a picture of the eggless ice cream so everyone can compare and make their own choice as to which way they want to go! Whichever way you choose, I hope you enjoy it!

NUTELLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl using a wire whisk. Nutella should be distributed through the mix but you will still have some flecks and small chunks of that do not dissolve.
• Pour mixture into ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. For a firmer ice cream, place into freezer after removing from machine and freeze an additional 2-4 hours or until it reaches desired consistency.
