Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup hazelnuts roasted and chopped, optional

Instructions

Whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until medium peaks form.
2 cups heavy cream
Incorporate the sweetened condensed milk, Nutella, and vanilla extract and whisk until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
1 can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup Nutella, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
Top with a few spoons of Nutella and the chopped roasted hazelnuts if using (See Note)
¼ cup hazelnuts
Freeze for 6 hours or more or until firm.

Notes

Roasting Hazelnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast them for 5-8 minutes, or until golden. Once they have cooled, remove their husk if they have one. Coarsely chop the nuts if using.

Keep the ice cream covered with plastic wrap so that freezer odors don't stick to the ice cream.

Use cold heavy cream for the best texture and avoid overmixing once the Nutella and sweetened condensed milk are added or the mixture can separate. During testing, slightly warming the Nutella made it much easier to blend smoothly into the ice cream base.

For extra flavor and texture, top the ice cream with chopped roasted hazelnuts and a few spoonfuls of Nutella before freezing. Keep the ice cream tightly covered with plastic wrap or an airtight lid to help prevent freezer odors and ice crystals from forming.
