Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Airtight Container for Storage
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Hazelnut butter or Nutella
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Chopped roasted hazelnuts optional for texture

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    Add the hazelnut butter (or Nutella) and whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Freeze the Mixture: Pour the ice cream base into the Ninja Creami pint container.
    Ensure it is not filled past the "max fill" line. Cover the container with the lid and place it in the freezer. Freeze the base for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Process in the Ninja Creami: Once the base is completely frozen, remove the pint container from the freezer.
    Attach the pint to the Ninja Creami and process on the "Ice Cream" setting.
    If the mixture is too hard, reprocess it or add a splash of milk to adjust the texture.
  • Add Mix-ins: If you’d like to add roasted chopped hazelnuts for extra crunch, fold them into the ice cream after processing, mixing gently with a spatula.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Scoop the creamy chocolate hazelnut ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • Chilling Tip: Ensure the ice cream base is thoroughly chilled before processing it in the Ninja Creami. If it’s not cold enough, the texture may not be as creamy.
  • Customization: Add a swirl of caramel, a sprinkle of sea salt, or even chocolate chunks for added texture and flavor.
  • No Ninja Creami? You can still make this ice cream manually by freezing the base and stirring it every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks.
