The Best Summer Activity
without an ice cream maker!!
My little one is obsessed with Nutella, so in my quest to have fun activities with her all summer long, we decided to make Nutella ice cream. I used sweetened condensed milk and was surprised how easy it was. The condensed milk improved the overall consistency and flavor (plus, it didn’t require an ice cream maker!).
We made a Nutella ice cream base with crumbled up Oreos, swirls of more Nutella, and graham cracker pieces. It was so good I had to be told when to stop eating it. I’ve been using the same base to make other flavors, one of which I’m sharing below—along with a few other delicious ice cream recipes for the end of summer. Grab your spoons!!
I don’t believe in buying appliances that aren’t necessary, but if you love ice cream, the Ninja Creami is GREAT. Highly recommend.
I got spice jars like these on a HomeGoods run the other day and transferred all my spices into them. Part of my kitchen organization!! (The ones I use most are on this OXO turntable for easy access.)
I just got a new pair of ASICS—I’ve been loving ASICS for my morning walks for the past few months.
My trainer makes great electrolytes that I drink every day. It helps me drink more water!! (Use code MELISSA15 for 15% off).
My wagon has been so useful for all our summer activities, especially going to the beach.
I’ve been eating my feelings (and this ice cream) as I wait for my oldest to come home from camp. (SHE’S BACK!!!)
One of my most popular recipes from last summer! I unlocked it so you can make it (and the maple tahini caramel) if you haven’t already. YUM.
A delicious way to eat s’mores without a campfire (or any heat at all).
Such a fun activity to make with kids on a hot summer day.
Hi Melissa - I can't find the Nutella ice cream recipe which looks amazing, can you help?
