Nutella flavored ice cream mixed with hazelnuts, crunchy wafers, and Nutella swirls, topped with a classic Ferrero-style chocolate and hazelnut shell – need I say more? This Ferrero Rocher-inspired chocolate ice cream is a chocolate lover’s dream and comes together in 20 minutes!
Ferrero Rocher is one of those chocolates that everyone loves. It’s really the perfect treat – chocolatey, nutty, crunchy, and super delicious. And of course, the chocolate and hazelnut flavor pairing is absolute elite. So one day I thought, what would a Ferrero Rocher ice cream taste like? And here we are.
But first, have you seen the Ferrero Rocher Mousse Cake? It’s one of my most popular dessert recipes, and for good reason!
I love making ice cream at home cause it’s really so simple and you can flavor them however you like. I’ve made my fair share of ice creams this summer, and I don’t think it’s gonna stop anytime soon! 🙈
If you’ve never made homemade ice cream, it’s the easiest recipe and uses only two main ingredients – whipped cream and condensed milk. Because the base is neutral, you can flavor it with anything you like.
For this Ferrero Rocher ice cream, we will Nutella and hazelnuts into the base to give it that chocolate flavor, and swirl in some crunchy wafer and more Nutella at the end.
And of course, it can’t be Ferrero Rocher ice cream without a crunchy chocolate and hazelnut shell that you can crack while eating. It’s fun AND delicious.
To sum it up – 6 ingredients and 20 mins worth of work, and you’ll have a delicious Ferrero Rocher-inspired ice cream.
So let’s not wait anymore and get started!
PS: I always measure ingredients in grams, never in cups. Using a measuring scale is the only way to bake accurately. Cups are unreliable and can give different measurements, so I suggest you buy a measuring scale before you start baking! If you can’t get your hands on one, you can use the online tools for converting grams into cups; however, I do not guarantee their accuracy.
