Honey Hazelnut Praline No Churn Ice Cream?? Uhh yup! This recipe produces a soft serve smooth ice cream that you SWEAR was made with a proper machine. No crystallisation or lumps of ice stuck in your homemade ice cream anymore! The no-churn ice cream recipes are honestly, life changing. I’ve linked the recipe for candied hazelnuts, here, but if you wanted to make it a bit quicker you can buy already candied nuts. The different flavour combinations if you use this base recipe are endless, caramel and nuts, chocolate chips and mint, fudge and chocolate sauce, strawberry etc.
This Ice Cream Mix is a no churn recipe. This means that you don’t need an ice cream machine to make this ice cream. The mix is made, flavoured and scooped into a loaf tin and frozen. Once frozen it is ready to serve and is a smooth, creamy ice cream.
To begin making this ice cream mix, start off by whisking the cream to soft peaks. Soft peaks means the cream will hold it’s shape for a few seconds before sinking back down. Next, add in the condensed milk, gin (or clear spirit of your choice) and crushed candied hazelnuts. Whisk in until fully combined and pour into a loaf tin. Drizzle the honey over the ice cream mix. Using a palette knife or small butter knife, drag through the ice cream to create ripples. Top with the some more crushed candied hazelnuts for decoration. Pop into the freezer for 4 hours or overnight until fully frozen.
This recipe contains alcohol (gin) which helps prevent crystallisation as the ice cream freezes. Spirits have a lower freezing temperature (roughly -20°c/-25°c) which helps keep the frozen ice cream soft and easy to scoop. For more information on alcohol in ice cream, check out this informative post by seriouseats.com, “The Real Rules of Making Boozy Ice Cream”.
This recipe also has condensed milk. The high sugar content helps prevent ice crystals and keep it smooth. It’s also a thick sweetened milk that has reduced water content which prevents large ice crystals from forming.

Could you leave the gin out and would the ice cream be right
Hi there,
The gin does help prevent ice crystals from forming which makes the ice cream nice and smooth.
You could replace it with another clear spirit like vodka, rum etc.
If you'd like to leave the alcohol out completely you absolutely can however the ice cream may start to get a little bit grainy after about 1 week in the freezer.
Thanks,
Rosie
