This Nutella milkshake is so simple to make (only 3 ingredients!), and it's the perfect treat or dessert on a warm day!
Nutella. Milkshake. Need I say more?! In this recipe, ice cream and the delicious hazelnut spread are combined to make an amazing beverage. Or would it be a dessert? (speaking of Nutella desserts, check out this no-bake Nutella tart here) Whatever it is, it's delectable!
In Italy, this Nutella milkshake would be called a frappè alla nutella. Frappè in Italy means milkshake. Even though it sounds like it contains coffee, an Italian frappè doesn't necessarily have to have coffee in it!
What's in it:
The best part about this milkshake is that it's only 3 ingredients:
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Nutella
- Milk
How to make this Nutella milkshake - step by step
Add the ice cream, milk and Nutella to a blender with the Nutella on top so it doesn't stick to the bottom or sides of the blender (photo 1)
Blend ingredients until smooth (about 20-30 seconds) (photo 2)
Pour into a glass top with whipped cream and hazelnut and chocolate shavings if desired (photo 3)
Possible additions:
- Add a couple shots of espresso for an extra kick
- Add a liqueur like Kahlua or Baileys and make it a frozen cocktail
Top Tips:
- Make sure to add the Nutella to the blender last or else it will stick to the bottom and sides of the blender
- I recommend using whole milk to make this milkshake nice and thick, but you can use a lower fat milk (even skim). The consistency will just be more liquid.
- Using other ice cream flavors: I opted to use vanilla because it's a nice blank canvas for the Nutella. You could try chocolate or hazelnut ice cream, but you won't taste the Nutella as much since they are stronger flavors.
- This milkshake is best enjoyed right away, but it will keep nicely in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
