    My eldest has recently become a little too obsessed with Nutella sandwiches, possibly around the same time I developed my no churn Nutella ice cream. Previous to this it was peanut butter sandwiches. So I guess it was almost inevitable that one day he would ask for both on the same sandwich.

    If you have ever had Nutella ice cream and wondered how could you possibly make it better? The answer is peanut butter 🙂 The combination of chocolatey Nutella ice cream with smooth, salty, peanut butter ice cream is truly a perfect match. Somehow the saltiness of the peanut butter helps to offset the sweetness of the Nutella. Either way, this is no ice cream for the faint-hearted or those with nut allergies.

    Nutella peanut butter ice cream

    This ice cream is quickest to make with a self-refrigerating ice cream churner OR a churner you can get churn TWO batches of ice cream in one sitting WITHOUT refreezing the bowl (most can not do this). This is because you can make both batches on the same day. I've given instructions if you do not have a self-refrigerating churner, it just takes an extra night so you can refreeze your churning bowl in between. I have made this using a chequered pattern when I assemble the ice cream which gives a lovely swirled effect. You could also do it Neapolitan style by putting the peanut butter ice cream in one half of the container and the Nutella ice cream in the other half.

    Ingredients

    ice cream ingredients

    Nutella: loved the world over, this delicious chocolatey spread is widely available throughout the world. You can also use your favorite brand of chocolate hazelnut spread instead.

    Peanut butter: use your favorite brand of smooth peanut butter.

    Cream: I use thickened cream but you can also use whipping cream or heavy whipping cream. The key thing is it needs to have a fat content of around 35% or you risk your ice cream being icy.

    Brown sugar: gives this recipe lovely caramel notes. You can substitute with the same amount of granulated sugar.

    Vanilla extract: sometimes also called vanilla essence, depending on where you live. You can use either, or imitation vanilla essence, depending on your preference and budget.

    Optional:

    Glucose syrup: is available from some supermarkets, specialty baking stores and online. The glucose syrup reduces the freezing temperature of the ice cream without adding too much sweetness and helps with the texture. You can make the ice cream without it but it may set more firmly in the freezer.

    How to make Nutella peanut butter ice cream

    This ice cream combines two different ice creams and swirls them together for a pretty and tasty effect. You can make either first. I made the Nutella ice cream first, then follow instructions before making the peanut butter ice cream and combining at the end.

    How to make Nutella ice cream

    adding cream to bowl
    adding Nutella for ice cream mix
    adding salt to Nutella ice cream mix
    mixing nutella ice cream base

    Put the cream, and Nutella salt into a bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fully combined.

    Turn on the churner about ten minutes before you churn the Nutella ice cream. At the same time put a smallish, 2 cup (500ml) or more container in the freezer to chill. A loaf tin works well for this but you can use whatever you have. It does not need to have a lid, it won't be in there for long.

    adding peanut butter for ice cream mix
    Adding brown sugar to peanut butter ice cream mix
    adding vanilla to peanut butter ice cream mix

    Put the cream, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla and salt into a bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fully combined.

    To assemble the ice cream WITH a self-refrigerating ice cream churner

    Churning Nutella ice cream
    Churned Nutella ice cream

    Churn the Nutella ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft serve when done. Put it in the temporary container in the freezer.

    Clean the churner and dry it properly. Turn the machine on for about ten minutes to chill again. At the same time put a larger storage container in the freezer to chill, about 5 cups (1.25 liters), ideally with a lid.

    Churn the peanut butter ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft serve when done.

    top down view of Nutella ice cream in loaf pan, empty loaf pan and peanut butter ice cream in churning bucket, on a chopping boar, on a bench.

    Remove the Nutella ice cream and a larger container from the freezer. Working quickly put large spoonfuls of peanut butter ice cream and Nutella ice cream into the larger container in a repeating chequerboard pattern i.e.

    First line: peanut butter, Nutella, peanut butter

    Second line: Nutella, peanut butter, Nutella

    Top down view of Nutella peanut butter ice cream assembly pattern in loaf pan, on a chopping board.

    Push the ice cream together to ensure there are no air pockets in between them. Repeat the pattern until both ice creams are used up.

    Cover and freeze until firm

    To assemble the ice cream WITHOUT a self-refrigerating ice cream churner

    Put a larger storage container in the freezer to chill, about 5 cups (1.25 liters), ideally with a lid about ten minutes before churning the first batch of ice cream

    Churn the Nutella ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft serve when done. Remove the chilled container from the freezer. Working quickly put large spoonfuls of Nutella ice cream into the container in a chequered board pattern, leaving gaps in between for the peanut butter ice cream i.e.

    First line: Nutella ice cream, gap, Nutella ice cream

    Second line: gap, Nutella ice cream, gap

    Hot tip: alternatively you can put all the Nutella ice cream into one half of the container, neopolitian style. It won't be as pretty but its a lot easier and will still taste delicious!

    Repeat until all the Nutella ice cream is used up. Cover and freeze. Clean the churner and return the churning bowl to the freezer until the bowl is properly frozen again and ready to make the next batch.

    Churn the peanut butter ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft serve when done. Remove the Nutella ice cream from the freezer. Put large spoonfuls of peanut butter ice cream into the gaps you left, ensuring there are no air pockets left.

    Alternatively, put the peanut butter ice cream into the other half of the container.

    Cover and freezer until firm.

    To serve

    Nutella peanut butter sundae

    Remove from freezer. Due to its simple ingredients this ice cream can freeze pretty firm. If it is too firm to scoop leave it out for ten minutes or so. Scoop and enjoy! Great on its own or sundae style with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, chopped nuts and peanut butter cups. Delicious!

    To store

    You can store this ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. If you've made it in an open loaf pan like I have pop a piece of baking paper over the top, then cover it with cling wrap. After two weeks the ice cream may start to become a little icy, but it will still taste delicious.
