Nutella Ice Cream is a quick and tasty dessert which can be made at home without much work. This recipe is just frozen banana blended with Nutella and then kept in freezer to set. It has chocolaty taste, smooth texture and creamy feel, almost like rich ice cream from shop.
This recipe is one of the easiest frozen treat for hot summer days. It has a chocolate flavor kids love, and adults like it too because it is not heavy like cream ice creams. With only 3 ingredients it looks special but stays simple. I sometimes take a scoop plain on hot days and it cools me right away.
[feast_advanced_jump_to]About Nutella Ice Cream
Nutella Ice Cream is a no churn recipe where banana works as the base. When banana is frozen and blended it becomes smooth creamy mixture close to ice cream. This recipe is made rich with Nutella which gives chocolate taste and nutty flavor. It can be done without any machine or whipping cream.
This recipe has buttery soft texture even without cream or butter. It is soft, melts slowly and gives satisfying feel when you eat. The banana in this recipe brings natural sweetness so sugar is not needed. It can be hard to believe it has no dairy cream when you taste it.
It can be made in different ways too. This recipe is flexible, you can replace Nutella with peanut butter or other chocolate spreads. Few drops of vanilla essence or little cocoa powder also works well. Every small change gives new flavor. It can be made easily even by beginners as there is nothing complicated.
I usually freeze it overnight so it sets well. Next day when scooping, texture comes like regular ice cream. You can enjoy it with sprinkles or chocolate chips, sometimes I also eat it plain without toppings.
Nutella Ice Cream Ingredients
- Banana - I have used ripe yellow bananas which are sweet. Frozen banana makes the creamy base and also add natural sweetness. Over ripe may give strong taste, so better use just ripe ones.
- Nutella - The main ingredient here, it gives chocolate flavor with nutty taste. You can also try with any other chocolate spread if Nutella is not there.
- Vanilla essence - This is optional. It gives small extra flavor, but many times I skip it because Nutella itself is strong.
Why This Recipe Works
- This recipe use only 3 ingredients and no cream or eggs.
- Banana gives natural sweetness so it is little more healthy.
- Texture comes smooth and creamy like regular ice cream.
- You can easily add other flavors like cocoa, peanut butter.
- Good way to add fruits for kids, they enjoy without knowing.

Expert Tips
- Use ripe bananas - I always choose ripe yellow bananas, they give right sweetness. Over ripe changes taste too much.
- Freeze well - Banana slices must be frozen properly, I keep overnight for best creamy result.
