Nutella Milkshake Tips and Tricks

You’ll Need a Blender or Food Processor

When it comes to easy dessert ideas, it doesn’t get much simpler than 3 ingredients and one kitchen tool!

Get ready to shake and blend, my friend! Alongside your trio of ingredients, grab either a zippy blender or a sassy food processor – although I must say, a blender brings the real razzle-dazzle!

Personally, I’m all about this high-powered Ninja Blender; it’s my partner in crime for all my milkshakes. Talk about smooth operations—this gadget is pure magic!

How to Get the Perfect Consistency in Your Homemade Milkshake

Here’s the thing. Everyone has a different preference when it comes to the perfect thickness of a milkshake.

Plus, no matter how many times I make this, the amount of milk I add is never completely consistent based on how cold my ice cream is, and which brand of hazelnut spread I use.

That being said, it’s important to add your milk slowly!

Add the Nutella, ice cream, and about 2 tablespoons of milk to start, and blend on high. Then, continue to slowly add more milk as you are blending, watching closely until you reach your desired consistency.

Bear in mind, this means you may not necessarily use all 1/3 cup of milk! Make this your own by tuning the texture into exactly how you like it. The ability to make it to your taste is the best part of making this delicious milkshake recipe at home!

Tested Substitutions and Nutella Milkshake Flavor Variations

Again, Nutella has become a catch-all term for any chocolate hazelnut spread, but you certainly do not have to use this specific brand. Additionally, this hazelnut spread milkshake can be made with dairy-free ice cream and plant-based milk and come out just as delicious!

You can also make this your own with flavor substitutions or additions. Here are some of my favorites:

• Chocolate Nutella Milkshake. If you don’t have vanilla ice cream, but do have chocolate ice cream, no problem! It’s a great way to ramp up the cocoa in the hazelnut spread. Vanilla is just my preference because it really allows the hazelnuts to shine! Or, you can add about 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the blender and blend that right into your milkshake.
• Coffee Nutella Milkshake. You can substitute cold coffee, espresso, or cold brew for the milk, or simply add a dash of espresso powder to your milkshake to give it a hit of caffeine and a hint of coffee flavor. Alternatively, you can use coffee flavored ice cream! (See also: this delicious homemade coffee milkshake!)
• Banana Nutella Milkshake. I love the flavor combination of Nutella and banana. Add a frozen banana to this milkshake to add the fruity flavor in with your hazelnuts and chocolate. Or use banana ice cream!
• Strawberry Nutella Milkshake. Similarly, you can use strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream or throw in 3-5 large strawberries into the blender with your ice cream, Nutella, and milk.

Nutella Milkshake Topping Ideas

Whoa, hold onto your taste buds, because this Nutella milkshake is already a flavor explosion with just three ingredients! But, if you’re in the mood to turn it into a gourmet masterpiece, I’ve got some topping ideas that’ll make you do the cha-cha:

• Whipped Cream Whirlwind: Plop on a cloud of velvety whipped cream and let it twirl and swirl like a sugar ballet on your shake’s stage.
• Sprinkle Fiesta: Shake on a rainbow of sprinkles – it’s like confetti for your mouth, celebrating every sip!
• Choco Loco Drizzle: Drizzle some extra Nutella goodness or chocolate syrup on top, because who can ever get enough of that chocolaty dance?
• Cookie Crunch Extravaganza: Crumble your favorite cookies and let them dive into the milkshake pool for a crunchy surprise.
• Fruit Frenzy Fusion: Crown your shake with slices of bananas, strawberries, or even a kiwi twist. It’s like a fruity fiesta on a creamy dance floor!
• Sugar Cone Shimmy: Why stop at a regular straw? Pop a sugar cone straw into your shake for a delightful twist and a bit of crunch with every sip.

So, whether you’re groovin’ with the original trio or adding a splash of fancy flair, this Nutella milkshake is your ticket to a taste sensation!

How to Store Leftover Homemade Milkshakes

If you have leftovers of this creamy, dreamy milkshake, no fear! There are ways to store it safely and save it for later. Make sure it is in a fully sealed container.

My favorite way to store leftover milkshakes is to stick it in the freezer. It will keep here pretty much indefinitely! Again, make sure it’s completely sealed to avoid freezer burn.

When you’re ready to enjoy, stick it back in the blender and blend to quickly get it back to that perfect texture.

If you’d rather not bother with re-blending, the easiest way to store it is in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for about 3 days. However, it will thin out and the Nutella will likely sink to the bottom, so make sure you stir it before slurping it up.
