This easy homemade Nutella milkshake is pure chocolate hazelnut heaven! Made with just three simple ingredients—Nutella, vanilla ice cream, and milk—this thick and creamy shake is ready in 5 minutes and tastes better than anything from an ice cream shop. Perfect for Nutella lovers of all ages!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 0 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 tablespoons Nutella (about ¼ cup), at room temperature
  • 2-3 large scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1½ to 2 cups)
  • ½ to ¾ cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, for garnish (optional)
  • Crushed hazelnuts, for garnish (optional)
  • Extra Nutella, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Take your vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. This makes blending easier and smoother without overworking your blender. If your Nutella is cold or firm, let it warm to room temperature as well—it blends much more easily when it’s soft and spreadable.
  2. Add Nutella to blender: Scoop 3-4 tablespoons of Nutella into your blender. Use a rubber spatula to scrape it all in—don’t leave any behind! The Nutella will stick to the spatula, but that’s fine; it’ll come off during blending.
  3. Add ice cream: Add your 2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the Nutella. Starting with 2 scoops will give you a thinner, more sippable shake, while 3 scoops creates a super thick, almost spoonable consistency.
  4. Add milk: Pour in ½ cup of milk to start. You can always add more to thin it out, but you can’t remove milk once it’s in. Starting with less gives you better control over the final consistency.
  5. Add vanilla (optional): If using vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor, add it now.
  6. Blend on low first: Start your blender on the lowest speed setting and blend for about 10-15 seconds. This helps break up the ice cream and get everything moving without splattering. You’ll see the ingredients start to combine but still look chunky and uneven.
  7. Increase speed and blend until smooth: Increase to medium-high speed and blend for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, uniformly brown, and creamy with no chunks of ice cream or streaks of Nutella remaining. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend for another 10 seconds.
  8. Check consistency: Stop the blender and check the thickness. If your milkshake is too thick to pour or drink comfortably through a straw, add 2-3 tablespoons more milk and blend for another 10-15 seconds. If it’s too thin for your liking, add another small scoop of ice cream and blend briefly.
  9. Taste and adjust: Give it a quick taste. Want more Nutella flavor? Add another tablespoon and blend for 10 seconds. Need more sweetness? Add a small scoop of ice cream. Prefer it less sweet? Add a splash more milk to dilute slightly.
  10. Prepare glasses (optional but recommended): For an extra-fancy presentation, drizzle Nutella around the inside of your serving glasses before pouring in the shake. Use a spoon to create decorative swirls on the glass sides.
  11. Serve immediately: Pour your Nutella milkshake into tall glasses. Top with generous swirls of whipped cream if desired. Garnish with chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts, or a drizzle of extra Nutella for that café-worthy finish. Insert thick straws and enjoy right away while it’s perfectly cold and creamy!

Notes

  • Nutella amount is flexible: Start with 3 tablespoons for subtle hazelnut flavor, or use 4-5 tablespoons if you want intense Nutella taste. You really can’t add too much!
  • Consistency control: The ice cream-to-milk ratio determines thickness. More ice cream = thicker shake. More milk = thinner, easier to drink. Adjust to your personal preference.
  • Room temperature Nutella is key: Cold Nutella doesn’t blend smoothly and creates lumps. Leave your Nutella jar out on the counter for better results.
  • Don’t over-blend: Blend just until smooth. Over-blending generates heat that melts ice cream and creates thin, watery shakes.
  • Make it boozy: Adults can add 1-2 ounces of Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur), Baileys Irish Cream, or vanilla vodka for a dessert cocktail.
  • Serving size: This recipe makes two generous servings or one very large indulgent shake for someone with a serious sweet tooth!
