Ferrero Rocher Lovers, This Ice Cream Recipe Is For You!

Love Ferrero Rocher? Now imagine it as creamy, decadent ice cream! Our homemade Ferrero Rocher ice cream is pure indulgence.

I recently received a comment on our Pinterest community; “Can you do Farera Roche?” (which I took to mean Ferrero Rocher). And when I read it, I audibly ‘mmm’d’ – because YES, what a great idea!

Truth be known, I’ve actually thought about making Ferrero Rocher ice cream many times before, the problem is, well… I ended up eating them all before I had the chance – they’re too good, and self-control is not my strong suit when Ferrero Rocher is involved. So I’m fixing that!

This article is all about firstly, discipline – lol, but also about turning those golden, hazelnutty, chocolatey bites of deliciousness into an ultra-luxurious homemade ice cream.

We’ll explain what makes Ferrero Rocher so irresistible, provide some insights into its rich praline core, and, of course – the real reason you’re here – share a decadent Ferrero Rocher ice cream recipe you can make at home. We’ll also share a bonus recipe to make your own Praline at home too.

Ferrero Rocher – The Gold Standard of Chocolate Treats

Ferrero Rocher isn’t just a chocolate—it’s an experience. Wrapped in gold, each bite is a perfect combination of crispy wafer, velvety hazelnut filling, crunchy roasted hazelnuts, and rich milk chocolate.

It’s indulgence at its finest, and no wonder it has a cult following worldwide.

💡 Fun Fact: Did you know Ferrero Rocher is made by the same company behind Nutella? That explains the creamy, hazelnutty goodness!

Flavours of Ferrero Rocher

While the classic milk chocolate and hazelnut combo is iconic, Ferrero has expanded its range over the years:

• Ferrero Rondnoir – Dark chocolate lovers, rejoice!
• Ferrero Rocher White (Raffaello) – A coconut and almond twist.
• Ferrero Rocher Gold Edition – The classic, but extra fancy!

Each version is delicious in its own right, but today, we’re sticking with the original Ferrero Rocher for our ice cream.

The Secret to Ferrero Rocher’s Flavour – Praline!

At the heart of Ferrero Rocher’s deliciousness is praline—a blend of caramelised hazelnuts and sugar, often mixed into chocolate or spreads (hello, Nutella!). And it’s this nutty, toasty, slightly crunchy element that makes Ferrero Rocher so special.

How to Make Homemade Praline

Want to take your ice cream next level? Try making your own praline and mixing it in!

Easy Praline Recipe

1. In a dry pan, toast 50g hazelnuts until golden.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt 100g sugar over medium heat until amber-coloured.
3. Stir in the toasted hazelnuts, coat evenly, and spread on parchment paper.
4. Let cool, then blitz into a fine powder or rough chunks.

It’s that simple! This praline can be swirled into your ice cream, sprinkled on top, or even used in other desserts!

Dietary Variations – Dairy-Free, Vegan and Gluten-Free Options

Dairy-Free & Vegan Ferrero Rocher Ice Cream Adaptations

While Ferrero Rocher chocolates aren’t dairy-free, you can still enjoy a creamy, chocolate-hazelnut ice cream inspired by their flavour. Here’s how to tweak the recipe:

Ingredient Swaps

• Double Cream → Coconut Cream or Dairy-Free Cream Alternative – Coconut cream gives a rich, creamy texture without the dairy.
• Whole Milk → Oat Milk or Hazelnut Milk – Oat milk is creamy and neutral, while hazelnut milk enhances the nutty flavour.
• Nutella → Vegan Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread – Look for a dairy-free alternative, or make your own by blending roasted hazelnuts with melted dark chocolate and a little maple syrup.
• Ferrero Rocher Chocolates → Dairy-Free Chocolate & Chopped Hazelnuts – Use high-quality dairy-free chocolate and mix it with crushed hazelnuts for that signature crunch.

Recipe Adjustments

1. Follow the same method as the no-churn version, but replace the dairy ingredients with the swaps above.
2. If you want extra praline flavour, stir in homemade vegan hazelnut praline (see the praline section above, but use coconut sugar instead of regular sugar).
3. Freeze and enjoy your dairy-free, Ferrero-inspired ice cream!

💡 Bonus Tip: If you’re making this for someone with a severe dairy allergy, double-check that your chocolate and hazelnut spread are truly dairy-free, as some brands may contain traces of milk.

Gluten-Free Ferrero Rocher Ice Cream Adaptations

Ferrero Rocher chocolates contain a wafer layer, which means they aren’t gluten-free. But that doesn’t mean we can’t recreate the magic!

Here’s how to make a gluten-free Ferrero Rocher-inspired ice cream:

Ingredient Swaps

• Ferrero Rocher Chocolates → Dairy-Free or Gluten-Free Chocolate & Chopped Hazelnuts – Look for gluten-free chocolate truffles or simply use chopped roasted hazelnuts with melted chocolate.
• Crispy Wafer Crunch → Crushed Gluten-Free Wafers or Cornflakes – To mimic the delicate crisp of Ferrero Rocher’s wafer, stir in crushed gluten-free wafer biscuits or lightly toasted gluten-free cornflakes for that extra crunch.

Recipe Adjustments

1. Follow the standard no-churn or churned ice cream recipe.
2. When folding in the Ferrero Rocher pieces, replace them with chopped gluten-free chocolate truffles, roasted hazelnuts, and crushed gluten-free wafers.
3. Freeze and enjoy your gluten-free Ferrero-inspired ice cream with all the chocolatey, hazelnutty goodness!

💡 Bonus Tip: If you’re making this for someone with coeliac disease, double-check that your chocolate, wafers, and hazelnut spread are all certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
