Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to mix.
- In a large mixing bowl, scoop the softened vanilla ice cream and create a smooth base.
- Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and creamy peanut butter to the ice cream. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and swirl the spreads into the ice cream, creating a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows throughout the mixture, distributing them evenly to ensure each serving gets marshmallow goodness.
- Transfer the mixed ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the top of the ice cream for an elegant finish and extra texture.
- Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap and return to the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and ice cream to set.
- When ready to serve, scoop into dessert bowls and garnish with additional chocolate shavings if desired.
Tips
- Softening is Key: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for exactly 5-10 minutes – not too long, not too short. This ensures easy mixing without melting completely.
- Marbling Technique: When adding chocolate hazelnut spread and peanut butter, use a gentle folding motion to create beautiful swirls. Don't overmix, or you'll lose the gorgeous marbled effect.
- Marshmallow Distribution: Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly to guarantee a perfect marshmallow in every bite.
- Freezing Hack: For the best texture, use a shallow, wide container that allows for even freezing and easier scooping.
- Garnish Game: Don't skip the chocolate shavings – they add a professional touch and extra crunch to your dessert.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This ice cream can be prepared up to a week in advance, making it perfect for entertaining or satisfying sudden dessert cravings!
