    No Churn Nutella Ice Cream

    Nutella Ice Cream for No Churn Nutella Ice CreamA mere four ingredients makes this No Churn Nutella Ice Cream.  No churning or machine needed for this quick treat.  I have made a Double Chocolate No Machine Ice Cream on this blog when I was on TV.   The one thing I didn’t like was how hard it froze.  It was literally rock hard and difficult to dip. But a little trick has solved that problem.

    This summer has turned unexpectedly busy and blogging has had to take a back seat to everything else going on.  Still, I wanted to keep in touch and bring you something easy, fun and delicious.

    This Nutella Ice Cream takes literally minutes to make. It is best frozen overnight to set up. The big trick to keep the texture great and make it easy to scoop is the addition of a bit of alcohol.  I used vodka since I wanted to make sure the Nutella came through.  But anything will do.  I don’t usually use vodka in baking and not wanting to be stuck with a huge bottle, I got a little airline bottle.  It was just enough for the recipe.

      I've had great success with Helen's other no-churn ice cream recipes (the peach swirl is my absolute favorite-- I add fresh peach pieces and toasted pecans), so I was excited to try this different technique. Unfortunately for me the addition of the vodka made the ice cream too "boozy" in both taste and effect, so I will stick with the alcohol-free options.

        Hi Diane - just leave it out. It's only in there to soften the ice cream so it doesn't freeze rock hard. Vodka has no flavor on it's own, but the alcohol may exaggerate the sharpness when it's frozen. I added a note about omitting it and also put it in the recipe.

      If you need a free proofreader, I would be happy to offer my services. I've been a professional copy editor and proofreader in the past, and still automatically catch typos when I read things.

        And so easy!! I can hardly wait either Eileen. It is the biggest project I have ever done. I'm about 40% finished with the writing and photography. Lots more to do though. It will feature a lot of European cookies as well as American.

          Hope your recipes use metric as well as cups for your followers in the UK. I find cups very confusing and every conversion chart I check is different.

            The recipes are written as they are on the blog if that is any help. I find metrics very confusing so I suppose we are equal there. I agree that conversion charts are often different and it maddening.
