Nutella-Swirled Vanilla Ice Cream with Reese’s-Style Chunks
The other day I was busy writing out my grocery list when I heard Charlotte say to Truman in a very grown-up voice, “No no Truman, you can’t have that.” And she pulled a large serrated knife out of his hands and gently set it out of reach.
It’s a good thing someone is around to do the mothering when I’m writing out my grocery lists. For all my complaining lately about the fact that Charlotte is practically a teenager these days, at least I get the saving-my-baby-from-mortal-peril perks.
Speaking of grocery lists, am I the only one who goes into a seeming trance when writing them out? Seriously, bombs could explode. Ryan Gosling could give that “Hey girl” look. Heroic toddlers could save babies from imminent death. I would still be trying to decide whether to categorize “pimientos” in the “canned veggie aisle” or the “pickles and olives aisle.”
Today I’m guest posting this fake homemade ice cream over at The Kitchen Prep. And by fake I just mean it’s not really homemade. I bought vanilla ice cream at the store and swirled in some Nutella and homemade Reeses-like peanut butter chunks. Come check it out!
UPDATE! I’ve added the recipe below:

Tried this and they were delicious!
Awesome! So glad you liked it! Thanks for the review :)
Oh,yum! Pinned this!
Oh goodness, this ice cream is amazing! Totally now on my top list of ice cream to make…. will probably end up having to make it twice because I ate the first one too quick!
I zone out when I write out my grocery list too but yay, so glad Charlotte was there to step in. I have been feeling really lazy to pull out my ice cream maker this summer so using storebought ice cream sounds perfect! Love all the add-ins!
Lol, “fake homemade ice cream.” That’s got to be the best thing ever. Screw spending all that time churning out your own. I’d waaaaaaay rather buy a giant bucket of good ice cream and add chunks of candy, ribbons of caramel and rivers of chocolate in myself. These photos are amazing. I may or may not have licked my screen frantically in the hopes that some of this would have ended up in my mouth instead of all the dust ‘n bacteria. As for your son with the knife – I had zero parental supervision as a kid so I injured myself in all kinds of ways. Jumping on a nail on a rotted board, falling down the stairs, snipping my finger with scissors, trying to slice my sister’s pan of rock hard Rice Krispies squares with a knife and instead, sliding my entire hand down the blade. I’m still alive so I’m sure your kids will be fine, especially with Charlotte’s keen eye!
I categorize my grocery list, too! I love that I’m not the only one! It totally makes life simpler when you’re at the store. I just wish that every store was the same. I feel like I need separate grocery list organizing styles for each specific grocery store! Anyway, could a combination of flavors be more perfect for this ice cream! Love it! P.S. Loving the nail polish. ;)
Grocery lists require concentration and intense brain use. I’m always in my own little world when I write my lists. Hey, that’s why you have two kids, right? Pinning!
That’s my kind of ice cream recipe!! Seriously. I always forget to put the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer at least 24 hours in advance, so I have to end up making it in a square baking pan and baby-sitting it by stirring every 30-60 minutes to avoid big ice chunks. I get a headache just typing that out! And you must be an awesome mom that your daughter already knows to take away the knife from your son. Hooray for smart kids!
I’m totally making this for my family this summer!
That is just delish! Love the flavors here. Homemade ice cream is the best!
Have an awesome weekend!
This looks like heaven in a cone! Well done!
Great story, ha! you must of really been concentrating. I kinda do that too about some things. Great idea with the ice cream.
Gah-this looks amazing!
Truman must be a smart kid, and knows “grocery list time” is also “mom’s not watching, let’s get dangerous time”. I totally zone out when making grocery lists too. It may look like I’m standing in my kitchen, but really I’m virtually walking thru the grocery store, aisle by aisle, thinking of everything I need.
This ice cream looks SO good! Smart you mixing it in with vanilla ice cream! I have this ice cream pie recipe that I make when I’m “lazy” and having people over. It’s literally ice cream and store bought oreo crust. Easiest ever. I just let everyone think I made it all from scratch, *wink*.
ice cream and store bought oreo crust?? that sounds amazing, what do you do just crunch it all together??
so fun doing ice cream social week with you and Dianna!! love this!
Good lord! Amazing. P.S. You categorize your grocery lists??? Whaaaaattt
That description of you and your grocery list writing habits are the best. Yes, I could probably (almost) zone out of “hey girl” Ryan Gosling while listing out how many types of hummus I can humanly stock up without seeming like a freakish hummus monster. Off to say hello at Dianna’s–cheers!
ugh could use one these right now…. you’ve made me hungry! thanks for sharing the recipe, definitely one i will be trying out. thanks!
Oh wait — this is a shortcut! Genius! My ice cream maker can continue to gather dust. ;)
I really need to pull out my ice cream maker! This looks phenomenal.
This is seriously one awesome ice cream, perfect for summer!!
I actually don’t like making homemade ice cream – way too involved for me, ha. So this “fake homemade ice cream” is so up my alley. This looks so good – I am loving your pics!!
Love this story. lol I can completely understand getting in “the zone”. Glad your little one got to keep all his fingers. ;) And SO thrilled to have you over on my blog today! Thanks again for participating!
