Swirls of Nutella, creamy banana goodness, and zero ice cream maker needed? Yes, please!
This No-Churn Banana Nutella Swirl Ice Cream is your new favorite summer dessert.
When I say this ice cream is pure summer magic, I mean it. It’s creamy, cool, full of sweet banana flavor, and it’s got dreamy swirls of Nutella in every scoop. Oh—and the best part? No ice cream maker required! Just a few simple ingredients, a freezer, and a little patience (the waiting is the hardest part).
This No-Churn Banana Nutella Swirl Ice Cream is the perfect dessert to whip up when you’ve got ripe bananas on the counter and you want something fun and homemade. I made this one as part of our Summer Dessert Week celebration, and it was a total hit with everyone here, especially Jackson and my best friend, Nicole!!
I actually created this flavor because of Jackson’s snack habits—he loves Nutella, and recently I introduced him to my mom’s favorite snack when I was growing u,p which was banana slices and chocolate syrup. Ever since then, J always asks for Nutella to go with his bananas.
So I thought, “Hey, why not swirl it all into ice cream?” And just like that, a new favorite was born. It’s a little indulgent, a little nostalgic, and totally easy to make at home.
What You’ll Need:
- heavy whipping cream
- Sweetened condensed milk
- ripe bananas, mashed
- banana extract
- Nutella
Tip: Microwave the Nutella for 10–15 seconds to make it easier to swirl!
Ingredient amounts and recipe directions are in the recipe card below with a print option!
How To No No-Churn Banana Nutella Swirl Ice Cream:
- Mash the Bananas:
In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the Base:
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and banana extract. Mix until well combined.
- Layer & Swirl:
Pour half of the banana ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Drizzle half the Nutella over the top and swirl it gently with a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining banana mixture and Nutella, swirling again.
- Freeze:
Cover and freeze for at least 6–8 hours or overnight, until firm.
- Serve:
Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping. That Nutella ribbon in every bite!!
Questions and Answers:
Can I Make Substitutions?
Yep!
- Add in mini chocolate chips or chopped hazelnuts for crunch!
- Swap Nutella for peanut butter, almond butter, or even cookie butter.
- Use vanilla extract instead of banana extract if you prefer a milder banana flavor.
