Nutella Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker
Recipe with beaters and also with the Bimby, using pasteurized eggs.
For the love of my grandchildren, here’s everything for them.
Who would’ve thought that at my age I would become a sweet tooth?
I was little, and in my grandmother Maria’s pastry shop, they made semifreddo ice creams and truffles.
I grew up with the smell of vanilla and anise instead of baby cologne. A flavor dear to me was Gianduia.
With this Nutella Ice Cream without an ice cream maker, I managed to get close with this recipe by replacing gianduia with Nutella, which makes the mixture elastic and very similar to the flavors of the ice cream shops of the past.

Ingredients
Let’s go shopping
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 7 oz Nutella® (or other spread of any flavor)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 packet vanillin
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3.5 oz 60% dark chocolate
- as needed hazelnuts
Tools
What we need to make
- 2 Bowls
- 1 Parchment paper
- 1 Pot
- 1 Electric whisk or the Bimby
- 1 Container for freezer with a 1-liter lid
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Spatula
Steps
To make
The first thing to do is to put the cream in the freezer 30 minutes before.
Prepare the dark chocolate wafer with which we will decorate our ice cream.
Heat the dark chocolate pieces in a bain-marie.
Once it has melted, place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and pour the melted chocolate.
Spread it on the sheet and put it in the freezer as it will be needed later for decoration.
Then proceed to whip the cream, add the vanillin, and start to whip it firm.
When the cream is whipped, put it in a bowl and store it in the fridge.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, take only the yolks, add 50 g of water, and beat them with the whisk for 3 minutes.
We will not use sugar in this recipe, so as a sweet source for both pasteurization and the recipe itself, we will use only Nutella. Once the eggs are beaten, we will mix them with Nutella.
Mix the compound with the whisks and then take a saucepan with water, place the bowl with the mixture of egg, water, and Nutella, and at a very low temperature, continue to whisk for at least 4 minutes. Then set aside.
Take the whipped cream out of the fridge, and blend in the pasteurized egg mixture,
with the whisks, but at a slow speed, until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Pour all the mixture into a 1-liter container with a lid, then break the chocolate slab that we had put in the freezer and place some hazelnuts here and there.
Transfer to the freezer for at least 6 hours
