What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 tbsp Nutella hazelnut spread
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 tbsp crushed hazelnuts
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Warm the Nutella Slightly
Microwave the Nutella for 10 seconds before adding it to the blender. This makes it easier to blend smoothly into the ice cream without leaving unblended clumps.
Step 2: Blend Everything
Add the warmed Nutella, vanilla ice cream, and whole milk to the blender. Blend on high for 40 to 50 seconds until silky smooth and uniformly combined with a rich chocolate hazelnut color.
Step 3: Top and Serve
Pour into chilled glasses, top with whipped cream, drizzle extra Nutella on top in a spiral pattern, and sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts. Serve immediately.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- Nutella → any generic hazelnut chocolate spread as a more affordable option
- whole milk → hazelnut milk to enhance the nutty flavor throughout the shake
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Not warming the Nutella first which causes it to clump together and not blend evenly
- Using too little Nutella resulting in a mild flavor that does not stand out from a plain chocolate shake
