Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ferrero Rochers
Cover the Ferrero Rocher chocolate with the sheet and then chop into small sized pieces. Put aside, you will add them later into the ice cream.
Step 2: Cream Whipping
With the help of electric hand mixer, beat the heavy cream in a large chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks become formed. This will roughly take 3-5 minutes. Watch out that you do not whip too much.
Step 3: How to make the Ice Cream Base
In another bowl combine sweetened condensed milk, Nutella, whole milk, Vanilla extract, cocoa powder (in case they are used) and a pinch of salt. Whisk until creamy and well mixed.
Step 4: Mixing Cream with Base
Using the silicone spatula, fold in the nutella mixture into the whipped cream gently. To keep the whipped cream light, utilize light, folding movements.
step 5:The added ferrero rocher is chopped
Gently blend the chopped Ferrero Rocher in the mixture, keeping some to sprinkle. Stir evenly.
Step 6: Freeze the Ice cream
Pour the mixture to a loaf pan or ice cream scoop. Top with the remaining chunks of Ferrero Rocher. Seal in a sealable lid or plastic and freeze at least 4-6 hours or at night until hardens.
Step 7: Enjoy and Serve
After freezing, leave the ice cream in a room temperature for about 5-10 minutes so that it gets a bit softened. Using a scoop, serve the velvety chocolate-hazelnut indulgence in bowls or cones and delight.
Tips For Success
- Whip to obtain the best results using chilled cream.
- Add more chopped hazelnuts or pieces of wafer in order to get a crunchier taste.
- In case you like churned ice cream you may make it with an ice cream maker rather than no-churn method.
- Ice crystals can be avoided by storing in an airtight container.
- Thaw it at room temperature 510 minutes and then scoop it out so it is smoother.
Flavor Variations
Nutty Twist: Chopped roasted hazelnut or almond: You may add to this extra texture.
Extra Chocolatey: On top of the chocolate syrup or freeze with chocolate syrup (ganache).
Hazelnut Swirl: Put more spoonfuls of Nutella into the final mixture to swirl around then freeze.
