Creamy Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream
A rich and dreamy homemade ice cream that satisfies all your chocolate hazelnut cravings without any dairy.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a scoop of cold ice cream on a warm afternoon. This version uses creamy hazelnuts and chocolate to give you that classic flavor you love, but it is entirely plant based and simple to whip up in your own kitchen.
I really enjoy making this for my family because it tastes just like a treat from a fancy parlor. A little tip for the best texture is to make sure your ice cream maker bowl is frozen completely solid before you start the process.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup

Once the ice cream reaches a soft serve consistency, you can serve it right away or transfer it to a freezer safe container to firm up for a few hours.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. If it gets too hard, just let it sit on the counter for ten minutes before you try to scoop it. Serve it with a few extra chopped hazelnuts on top for a nice crunch.
