Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For 2 large servings:
6 Ferrero Rocher chocolates
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup cold whole milk
2 tablespoons hazelnut-chocolate spread
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
4 ice cubes, optional
For garnish, optional:
1/2 cup whipped cream
2 extra Ferrero Rocher chocolates
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup for drizzling
Directions
Unwrap the Ferrero Rocher chocolates. If you want to use some for decoration, set 1 or 2 aside. Break the remaining chocolates into rough pieces so they blend more easily.
Add the vanilla ice cream, cold whole milk, Ferrero Rocher pieces, hazelnut-chocolate spread, and chocolate syrup to a blender.
Add the ice cubes if you want the milkshake to be extra cold and slightly thicker.
Blend for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined. The texture should be thick but still easy to pour.
Check the consistency. If the milkshake is too thick, add a small splash of milk and blend again for a few seconds. If it is too thin, add a little more ice cream.
For a more decorative presentation, drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glasses before pouring in the milkshake.
Divide the milkshake between two large glasses.
Top with whipped cream, extra Ferrero Rocher chocolates, either whole or crushed, and an extra drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired.
Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 2 generous servings. The preparation time is about 5 minutes, and there is no cooking required, so the total time is also about 5 minutes. It is an excellent dessert option when you want something quick, easy, and impressive without spending much time in the kitchen.
Variations
For a stronger chocolate flavor, replace some of the vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream. If you want to highlight the hazelnut taste even more, use hazelnut ice cream instead. For a thicker milkshake, reduce the milk slightly or add an extra scoop of ice cream. For a thinner and lighter version, add a little more cold milk until you reach your preferred texture.
You can also give this recipe a different twist by adding a small amount of chilled coffee for a mocha-style flavor. Chocolate and hazelnut pair beautifully with coffee, making the drink taste even more rich and sophisticated. If you want an extra indulgent version, add a little more hazelnut-chocolate spread or finish the top with more whipped cream and crushed chocolate pieces.
Storage/Reheating
This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after blending, when it is cold, frothy, and perfectly creamy. If you need to store it, pour it into a covered container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Before serving, stir it well or blend it again for a few seconds to bring back its smooth texture.
This recipe should not be reheated. If it becomes too thick after chilling, simply add a small splash of milk and blend again. You can also freeze it in a suitable container, then let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature before blending again to restore the texture.
