Description
Creamy 2-ingredient Nutella nice cream delivers delightful chocolate indulgence without traditional ice cream complexity. Blended frozen bananas and Nutella create smooth, rich dessert perfection for quick chocolate cravings you can savor instantly.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutiva or Nutella)
- 4 medium bananas (about 450 grams / 16 oz)
- Optional toppings as desired
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously peel ripe bananas, eliminating any imperfections. Slice into consistent segments and arrange on a flat freezing surface. Freeze thoroughly until completely solid.
- Thawing: Extract frozen banana chunks, allowing them to rest momentarily at room temperature to ease processing. Transfer segments into a high-performance blender or robust food processor.
- Blending: Incorporate chocolate hazelnut spread with frozen banana pieces. Pulse and blend, intermittently scraping container sides with a silicone spatula. Continue processing until achieving a luxuriously smooth, gelato-like consistency.
- Serving Options: For immediate enjoyment, scoop the nice cream directly into serving vessels. Alternatively, transfer the creamy mixture into a sealed freezer-safe container, permitting it to solidify for 6-8 hours until perfectly scoopable.
- Finishing Touch: Create an elegant chocolate drizzle by whisking chocolate hazelnut spread with steaming water until developing a glossy, fluid sauce. Artfully cascade the sauce over the nice cream moments before presentation.
Notes
- Banana Selection: Choose fully ripe bananas without green or brown spots for the smoothest, sweetest texture.
- Freezing Technique: Freeze banana chunks on a flat surface to prevent clumping and ensure even freezing.
- Blending Pro Tip: Let frozen bananas sit briefly at room temperature to prevent equipment damage and ease blending.
- Consistency Control: Adjust freezing time to achieve desired texture – shorter for soft serve, longer for traditional ice cream style.
