1½ Tablespoons Sugar-Free Hazelnut Syrup Torani

Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the milk, allulose, instant pudding powder, cocoa powder, and hazelnut syrup into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the Ninja Creami container from the freezer. If there is a large bump in the ice cream, melt or scrape the large bump so that the top is level.
Place the Ninja Creami container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks more like little balls of ice cream, re-spin without adding liquid. You may have to respin a couple of times.

Notes

What does chocolate hazelnut ice cream taste like?

Nutella! This recipe tastes like Nutella without actually using Nutella! Nutella is not low in calories, but this recipe is. By using cocoa powder and sugar-free hazelnut syrup, you can make your own, low calorie, Nutella ice cream.

Can you just add hazelnuts to the recipe instead of using syrup?

Hazelnut syrup adds a ton of hazelnut flavor without adding sugar or calories to the recipe. The hazelnut syrup is pretty potent, so don’t add too much. If you do, the hazelnut flavor will be overwhelming and you won’t be able to taste the chocolate flavors as much.

Where is Torani sugar-free hazelnut syrup sold?

Of the Torani flavors, the sugar-free hazelnut is one of the easier ones to find. Most grocery stores, Walmart, and Amazon sell it. If you can’t find this particular brand or flavor, you can other brands, but they might not taste exactly the same. If you are using a different brand, be sure to add a smaller amount to the recipe before freezing, taste the mixture, and add more as needed.
