The fluffiest, most satisfying, Nutella lover’s dream dessert is here: vegan ice cream made with chocolate and hazelnuts. It’s creamy, dreamy, oh-so delicious, and kind of perfect — especially when craving a sweet treat on a warm summer day.
Just 6 ingredients required for this masterpiece. Grab your cones. Let’s make Nutella ice cream!
Just like 4-Ingredient Nutella, this Nutella ice cream starts with roasting hazelnuts to warm up their natural oils, loosen the skins, and enhance the hazelnut flavor.
Then blend the roasted hazelnuts with melted chocolate, and you’ve got easy homemade Nutella with better-for-you ingredients. It’s also a seriously amazing base for ice cream. Just be sure to set some of the Nutella aside for swirling into the ice cream later!
Next, blend most of the nut butter with canned light coconut milk, cane sugar, vanilla, and salt. After blending, refrigerate for at least an hour to cool the mixture down. This chilling step also allows you to prep ahead of time — perfect for summer ice cream parties.
When you’re ready, add the creamy mixture to your ice cream maker and churn for about 30 minutes. Then gently fold in the reserved Nutella to create rich swirls throughout before transferring to a freezer-safe container to firm up. The result is a fluffy, deeply chocolatey, hazelnut-forward ice cream that’s every bit as indulgent as the classic — and completely dairy-free.
