Substitutions

    • Make a homemade version using cocoa powder, hazelnuts, and sweetener.
  • Whole Milk:

Milkshake Variations

  • Nutella Espresso Milkshake: Add a shot of espresso or strongly brewed coffee to the blender along with the Nutella, milk, and ice cream. Combining coffee and Nutella creates a rich and indulgent flavor profile with a hint of caffeine kick.

Topping Ideas

  • Whipped Cream: A classic topping for milkshakes, whipped cream adds a fluffy and creamy texture. You can use homemade whipped cream or store-bought aerosol whipped cream.
  • Chocolate Shavings: Use a vegetable peeler to create chocolate shavings from a chocolate bar. Sprinkle the shavings over the whipped cream for an elegant touch.
  • Hazelnut Crumbs: Crushed or finely chopped hazelnuts add a crunchy texture and enhance the nutty flavor of Nutella. Sprinkle them over the whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Chocolate Sauce: Drizzle chocolate sauce over the whipped cream for an extra dose of chocolatey goodness. You can use store-bought chocolate syrup or make your own with melted chocolate and cream.
  • Caramel Sauce: Caramel sauce pairs wonderfully with the rich flavor of Nutella. Drizzle it over the whipped cream for a sweet and gooey topping.
  • Sliced Bananas: Fresh banana slices add a natural sweetness and creamy texture to the milkshake. Arrange them on top of the whipped cream for a fruity twist.
  • Maraschino Cherries: Top your Nutella milkshake with a bright red maraschino cherry for a pop of color and a sweet finishing touch.
  • Toasted Coconut Flakes: Toasted coconut flakes add a tropical flavor and a satisfying crunch to the milkshake. Sprinkle them over the whipped cream for a delightful contrast.

Top tips

  • Adjust Consistency: If your milkshake is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add more ice cream or frozen bananas to thicken it up.
  • Garnish Creatively: Get creative with your milkshake toppings! Experiment with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or fresh fruit to add visual appeal and extra flavor to your milkshake.
  • Blend Thoroughly: Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps of Nutella or ice cream left behind. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure even blending.
  • Serve Immediately: Nutella milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them immediately after blending. This ensures that they’re at their peak flavor and texture.
