Learn how to make Nutella Ice Cream with 5 ingredients and a blender. No need to cook or add eggs.
Labor Day may mark the end of summer, but it does not mark the end of ice cream season. Every season is ice cream season (even winter). Since my Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream was such a huge hit this summer, I wanted to share another variation I love, perhaps even more than peanut butter cup: No-Cook Egg-Free Nutella Ice Cream. Yes, your favorite easy ice cream recipe can be made with that irresistible chocolate hazelnut spread we have come to know and love. Want to know how easy? You throw your ingredients into a blender then freeze. Can ice cream get any easier? No, it can not, which is why you need to make this Nutella Ice Cream now.
I remember my first spoonful of Nutella. I was studying abroad in Ireland when one of my housemates shared her jar of Nutella. Where has it been all my life?! I originally thought it was strictly a European product, so you can imagine how wide my eyes lit up when I found out how common it is in the US. It’s such a huge craze that I’ve seen regular jars, small jars, mini to-go packets, jars as big as your head. When people ask me what Nutella is, I tell them it’s just like peanut butter but it’s hazelnuts with chocolate instead of peanuts. It’s used the same way as peanut butter – on sandwiches, with a spoon, in cookies, in frosting, with a spoon. Pretty much you consume Nutella with a spoon, but it’s more fun in ice cream ;)
You may recognize this ice cream from when I hosted Ice Cream Week when I shared my Nutella Espresso Hot Fudge Sauce. Although I briefly shared the ice cream, I wanted this recipe to have the spotlight in its own post. It’s just that good (and easy to make!). It may look like innocent chocolate ice cream, but it tastes just like Nutella. Boost up the Nutella flavor by pouring the hot fudge sauce on top.

I agree, Nutella hand down beats all the others that try to imitate. This ice cream would be almost as dangerous to me as the open jar. Cold and creamy version…just give me a giant spoon!

I can’t say I’ll be craving ice cream when New York is covered in snow but that’s not for another few months. So, I still have plenty of time to eat this ice cream!
Alex says
Saved! I’ll be trying this next weekend. Thanks! =o)
Jen @ Jen's Favorite Cookies says
I never did make any ice cream this summer. But it doesn’t have to be hot outside to have a reason to make ice cream, right? Nutella is reason enough!
Susan says
It is always ice cream season in my house! Uh sadly it shows around my middle that ice cream season continues on and on and on. :-)
One of these days I need to try the no-cook, egg-free ice cream recipes. I always do things the hard way!

I happen to scream for ice cream all year long. Hot. Mild. Cold. It doesn’t matter, because there is always room for ice cream.
This frozen treat looks delicious, and now I’m craving Nutella. Thank ya very much!
I happen to know where you can get two economy-size jars of Nutella. That’s right, two! Go to the mega mart. You know, the Costco. They keep the glorious stuff in stock all year long. It’s heaven.

No egg AND no cook – sign me up! Looks awesome.
Andrew says
I tried making this and it curdled in the mixer before I could put it in the ice-cream machine. Any idea why? Also, wouldn’t it be easier to give recipe in mass terms not volume? I found it really fiddly trying to get a 1/4 cup of nutella.
Carla Cardello says
Hmm I’m not sure why. I do say to make this in a blender, so maybe the mixer didn’t get it smooth enough.
Karen says
Can you use a cuisinart ice cream maker.
Carla says
Yes, absolutely!
Adriana says
