This Kinder Bueno Ice Cream is packed with Kinder chocolate and topped with crunchy Kinder Buenos! I've used a hazelnut cream spread to infuse it with delicious kinderella flavour. It's so easy to make and you only need five ingredients. The best thing about it is that it's no churn! This means you don't need an ice cream maker to make it. All you need is an electric whisk, or a lot of elbow grease!! Kids and adults alike will love this tasty ice cream!

Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information

You will need sweetened condensed milk for this recipe, do not use evaporated milk as it will affect the final result.
The best kind of cream to use is double cream, which has around a 48% fat content. As long as you are using a high fat content cream that will thicken when whisked, then this will not greatly affect the final result. Using single cream, or a lower fat cream, will affect the final result.
It’s best to use an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer, to whisk up the double cream. It will take much longer by hand and require a lot of work!
The hazelnut cream (also known as Kinderella) I used is from Black Milk Cereal. You can use any similar spread to flavour the ice cream, like Nutella for example. Morrisons also do a Hazelnut white chocolate spread which is very similar. Or you can omit it and add some vanilla extract and chopped hazelnuts!
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

How to make Kinder Bueno Ice Cream

Start by mixing the condensed milk and hazelnut cream spread together until smooth and well combined. In a separate bowl, whip up the double cream. Then add the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture, gently folding it in.

Then mix in the chopped up Kinder chocolate. Add the mixture to your tin or tub, and decorate the top with more Kinder chocolate and some Kinder Buenos too. Put in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set.

Can you use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk?

No, you must use condensed milk for this recipe to work.

What container should you use?

I used a 2lb loaf tin purely for aesthetic purposes, however this recipe makes a little extra than fits in the tin. I would recommend a 2.5L plastic tupperware container with a lid, to prevent freezer burn. Or you can split the mixture between smaller containers if you don't have one big one.

Can you use heavy cream or whipping cream?

The best kind of cream to use is double cream, which has around a 48% fat content. As long as you are using a cream that will thicken when whisked, then this will not greatly affect the recipe. Do not use single cream, as it will affect the final result.

Do you need an electric mixer to make this recipe?

While you could whisk up the cream by hand, it will take a long time and be rather tiring! Therefore I do recommend using an electric mixer. It doesn't have to be an expensive stand mixer, a budget handheld electric whisk will do the job too.

Can this recipe be made gluten free or dairy free?

The only thing you need to change or remove are the Kinder Buenos, as they contain gluten. Please do check the labels of any products you use to avoid cross contamination, and especially if you are serving to someone with an allergy or intolerance. Unfortunately this recipe cannot be made dairy free.

Where do you get the kinderella (hazelnut cream) spread from?

The spread I used for the filling is from Black Milk Cereal, they kindly sent me a large tub of their hazelnut cream which tastes exactly like the inside of a Kinder Bueno! You can purchase it from their online shop. Morrisons also do a Hazelnut white chocolate spread which is very similar.

Can you use a different spread to flavour the ice cream?

Yes! You can use Nutella, or any other similar spread. Nutella and a white chocolate spread would be a delicious mix!

Can you make the ice cream without the hazelnut cream spread?

Yes! I would suggest adding 2 tsp vanilla extract and perhaps some chopped roasted halzenuts for delicious flavour and texture.
