How to Make Nutella Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. Slowly temper the egg mixture by whisking in a small amount of the warm cream mixture. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the Nutella until it is completely melted and incorporated.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
  11. Serve and enjoy your homemade Nutella ice cream!
