The Creamiest Nutella Ice Cream!

I know i shouldn't...i really shouldn't but what do you do when your in the ice cream making mood, there is no milk left in the fridge and a big pot of double cream? Yes, make the most creamiest nutella ice cream there as ever been.....FOR REAL!

I have come across other more, more healthy versions of nutella ice cream like this one which mine is based on but instead of using unsweetened evaporated milk i used double cream, oh yes.

You start off by warming nutella in the microwave on 10-15second boosts until it becomes well melted chocolate, then you pour in the double cream give it a whisk, have a quick taste, your checking it's sweet enough?! add a tablespoon at a time of icing sugar if needed. Pour into your ice cream maker and in less than 15 minutes you will have the creamiest nutella ice cream you will have ever tasted!

Another reason i shouldn't have made this ice cream as whilst i were busy taking snaps in the kitchen, my 2 children got out their play doh ice cream maker and made lots of ice cream themselves that stuck right onto my carpet! That'll teach me.

Recipe

 

Ingredients

1 cup nutella, slightly warm
2 cup double cream, chilled (To be fair, you could substitute 1 cup for whole milk or single cream if you want, as the nutella itself thickens the ice cream as it churns and freezes anyway)
Icing Sugar * to taste

Method

Melt the nutella in a microwavable bowl on 15 second short bursts, stirring in between then pour contents into a large heat proof bowl.

Pour the double cream into the nutella and whisk until you see a sea of light brown, check for sweetness and add icing sugar if needed.

Freeze according to your ice cream maker manufacturer instructions, should take no longer than 10 minutes.

 Eat or freeze in a suitable container until required.

As this ice cream is extra thick, you will need to leave it out on the counter top for at least 15minutes before the desired consistency for spreading between wafers for an ice cream sandwich.

Use sprinkles to decorate or even some chopped roasted hazelnuts.
 
optional: - Melt a heaped teaspoon of nutella in the microwave and spread on top of your ice cream sandwich, use a cocktail stick to make a nice swirl pattern.
