It seemed like such a natural progression, going from No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream to the chocolate nutty version of No Churn Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. This delicious frozen treat is so flavorful you won't believe how easy it is to make. The chocolate flavor is doubled by including the Nutella Italian spread plus the chocolate chips. This is a chocoholics' dream.

Chocolate no-churn ice cream goes gourmet.
The title is quite a mouthful isn't it? But what else would you call an ice cream that is so much more than just Nutella and heavy whipping cream?
What makes this no-churn ice cream special
- the star is Nutella.
- roasted crunch of hazelnuts enhances the chocolate goodness.
- semi-sweet chocolate chips embellish the frozen dessert.
- a light touch of Frangelico liqueur enhances the dreamy rich ice cream.
Creamy no-churn Nutella Hazelnut ice cream
Frangelico is a brand of hazelnut and herb-flavored liqueur produced in Canale, Italy. It's delicious and it's considered a digestive.
I don't believe I've ever sipped on it because I had a tummy problem. 🙂
Now you don't need the liqueur but a little bit of alcohol keeps the no-churn Nutella hazelnut chocolate chip ice cream nice and creamy and prevents it from freezing too hard.
It works like a charm.
The first time we sampled it, we couldn't believe how good it was.
We made the ice cream yesterday and we had to patiently try to wait for the ice cream to freeze for at least six hours.
It wasn't easy!!!
This morning, before coffee, before breakfast, my Honey took out the container from the freezer, grabbed a small spoon and scooped out a little spoonful.
He tasted; I tasted. OMG !! It was so good.Our eyes looked up to the heavens in total bliss.
The texture was perfect -- creamy without being too hard or too soft.
No Churn Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream was even more than what we thought it would be.
We are trying to forget it's in the freezer -- it isn't easy.
There's only one solution. Take it to our kids and grandkids before we are tempted to empty the entire container.
Alla Prossima!

We couldn't do without our small mixer like this. We love our heavy duty Kitchen-Aid but for jobs like mixing up the no-churn ice cream it's super convenient to just whip out the small tool.
No Churn Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This is just the type of dessert you want to make and serve to company. It is delicious, creamy, and rich. Just the way you want a frozen dessert to be. You don't have to use the Frangelico liqueur but if you don't, you'll be missing out on more yummy goodness as well as helping the ice cream from getting too hard and icy. This is a chocolate lover's dream dessert.
And if chocolate is your thing, then this double chocolate marble bark is what you'll simply love. It makes a great gift too.
Next time you're wanting an Italian flavored dessert such as this Nutella ice cream, try our Italian classic Tiramisu Cake With Zabaglione Cream. All the flavor of the traditional dessert but so much easier. Or if you want to have an early morning treat, have a Whipped Topping Frozen Caffè Granita like the Italians.

📖 Recipe
No Churn Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 14 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
- 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream -- ½ cup will be added to the Nutella and sweetened condensed milk.
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts roasted skinned and chopped
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips -- roughly chopped or use mini chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons Frangelico -- a hazelnut infused liqueur
Instructions
To Roast Hazelnuts
- Preheat oven to 275 F. Place shelled hazelnuts on a non-greased cookie sheet and put in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes until the skins crack and the nut meats turn a light golden color. Pour the nuts onto a clean terry cloth towel and wrap it closed. Let the nuts steam for 4 to 5 minutes, then rub vigorously until the skins are removed. If there are some nuts still holding on to their skin, microwave the nuts on full power a minute at a time until the skins come off. Let cool then roughly chop them.
Combine the Nutella and Condensed Sweetened Milk
- Warm the Nutella on top of a double boiler over a heat. Once the Nutella is soft, use an electric mixer to combine it with the condensed sweetened milk. Let it cool. Once it is cool slowly beat in ½ cup of the heavy whipping cream until it is completely combined. Add in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Add the 2 Tablespoons of Frangelico, and set aside.
Whip the Cream
- In a very cold mixing bowl add the 2 cups heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat or you might get butter.
- Gently fold the Nutella mixture into the whipped cream until completely combined.
- Put the bowl into the freezer for 30 minutes. Take out of freezer then beat the mixture on medium-high for 1-2 minutes. Put in freezer safe containers. Freeze for at least 6 hours before enjoying!!
Notes
- Be sure to chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream.

Would it work to halve the sweetened condensed milk? Meaning, would it affect the texture? I love ice cream, but it's always too sweet for me. Thanks
Marisa Franca
Hi Evie! I haven't tried halving the sweetened condensed milk, so I can't say for certain how the texture would be. I believe the taste would be good. I mean, how can you go wrong with whipped cream, right? You may try it and see. Before serving, just be sure to let it set out for a few minutes
Nina
Cannot wait to make this. I have made something similar with egg yolks. I prefer this recipe. You stated the nutritional value is 678 calories. Can you please tell me for how many servings is it 678? Not the entire recipe I assume?
Thank you
Marisa Franca
Hi, Nina! No it's not the entire recipe - it's kind of an educated guess. It all depends on how much you want to eat. Hubby and I don't eat very much and then there are people who have a huge bowl. That nutritional value is high. I would say it should be more around 400. Let me know how you like the recipes.
Rosemary
Hello, I've just made this but when I did the final part, mixing on med-high for 1-2 mins after the 30 min freeze, after 1 min the mixture appeared to 'split' - lost its lovely creamy texture went more like a mousse. Is this supposed to happen? It's in the freezer now so we don't know how it will be but worried I have spoilt it. Anyone have any thoughts or advice?
Marisa Franca
Hi Rosemary! I don't believe you've ruined it. I've never had it "split" before but it could be overbeating. I use a hand mixer for this which is not quite as powerful as our Kitchen-Aid stand mixer. See how it is after it's frozen. The ice cream will still be delicious. Let me know how it ends up.
Marisa Franca
You're not going to spoil it -- it will taste great. Next time don't try to rewhip the ice cream. Don't worry -- it will be good.
Lois Christensen
Oh yummy!!! I could really go for a bowl right now!

No-churn ice creams are the BEST! We have so many kitchen gadgets; I really don't want to add an ice cream maker to the list, lol. But this recipe looks absolutely delicious - cannot wait to try!

Veena Azmanov
Delicious, chocolaty, Nutty, mouth melting and yummy.I love it.
Gloria
My family LOVES Nutella. I know this would be a hit for sure. The addition of chocolate chips takes this over the top. No churn is the best ice cream to make. I think I need to make a batch of this for an upcoming bbq party.
Marisa Franca
Hi, Gloria! I can't understand my daughter, she can take or leave Nutella. I have to hide it from myself.
Denise
That ice cream looks incredibly creamy and delicious! I am going to try your recipe, thanks for sharing it.
Michelle
Oh, this ice cream looks divine! I could eat so bowls and bowls of this. Can't wait to make it x
Gloria | Homemade & Yummy
Chocolate, chocolate, hazelnut and chocolate. Do we need more?? I know LOTS of people in my house that would LOVE this. In fact, I need to make some of this for my next bbq party. It will be a HIT!! No churn is the best!!
penelopi
Love loots of ice cream flavours but my favourite is the chocolate one!
I am wondering whether I can veganise it...
Marisa Franca
How about using Coconut Cream? I think you can whip it - I haven't tried veganizing it but that is an interesting idea, Penelopi.
Susie
OH MY GOODNESS......A elegant dessert or just because indulgence.....????????????
Marisa Franca
It is sooo good!! Big hugs, Susie!!
Claudia Lamascolo
this would be my sons favorite ice cream. He has been stoning me to make homemade ice cream again and I just haven't gotten motivated until I saw this. I surely will be surprising him with this one
Jessy @ The Life Jolie
This looks awesome- I am firmly in the camp that hazelnuts and chocolate are the ultimate flavor combo- it just doesn't get any better than that!
Marisa Franca
It is a perfect marriage! Inseparable and true love union. That's my love union 🙂
Simply Suzannes at Home
LOVE your narrative, Marisa!
I can see you and your husband taste-testing in the early morning hours . . . and your eyes turning to the heavens in bliss.
Good.ness! I can't wait to try it! We LOVE Nutella . . . and my husband and kids ask for it on everything - all the time.
First things first though, I'll try Vanilla Bean first . . . and then venture into your flavors!
If you sample chocolate first, then please send that recipe my way!!
I hope you had some left to take to your kids and grand-kids :0)!
Hugs,
Suzanne

Marisa: This looks amazing! I've never tried to make my own ice cream because it seemed rather intimidating and I don't have an ice cream churner, but this looks easy enough for a novice like me. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Marisa Franca
For years we said no ice cream machine -- where there's a will there's a way. Now we don't need an ice cream maker. We don't know if that's a good or bad idea.
Ciao Chow Linda
Oh now you've gone and doneit. I have half a jar of Nutella in the fridge and I know just what I'll do with it. This looks like another addictive treat that I'll need to share so I'm not tempted to eat it all.
Marisa Franca
Well, we are going to share with our kids and grandkids but now I have to make another batch so there is enough for the entire family -- I don't think each family would be happy with one little cone. Let me know if you like it. I want to get your pistachio and try it that way. 🙂
Jovina Coughlin
Oh Yum. A second delicious ice cream recipe. This recipe sounds wonderful and I can visualize the expressions on your faces, when you tasted this creation. Enjoy.
