Ingredients
For the Nutella fudge:
- 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Nutella
- 8 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- mini pretzels optional, to taste
- 1/4 cup heavy cream plus more, to taste
For the malted whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons malted milk powder
- 1/2 vanilla bean optional, seeds scraped
For the milkshake:
- 1/4 cup mini pretzels
- 3/4 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/3 cup Nutella
- 1/3 cup milk plus more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- marshmallows optional, to taste, toasted, for serving
Directions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, add the condensed milk, 1 cup of the Nutella, and the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Microwave the Nutella mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until it is melted and smooth.
- Add the butter and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract to the Nutella mixture and stir to combine.
- Reserve 1/3 of the Nutella fudge mixture.
- Pour the remaining Nutella fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Push the extra pretzels into the top of the Nutella fudge in the baking pan.
- Cover the pan and chill it in the refrigerator until set, about 30 minutes.
- In a clean, heatproof bowl, add the reserved Nutella fudge mixture and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream.
- Melt the Nutella fudge-cream mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the mixture has the consistency of a pourable sauce. If it is too thick, add the extra heavy cream, a little at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Set the warm fudge sauce aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add the remaining 1 cup of the heavy cream and using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form.
- Add the malted milk powder and the vanilla bean seeds to the whipped cream and beat until combined.
- In a blender, add the remaining 1/4 cup of the pretzels and blend until they become fine crumbs.
- Add the ice cream, the remaining Nutella, 1/3 cup of the milk, and the remaining vanilla extract to the blender and blend until smooth. If the milkshake mixture is too thick, add the extra milk, a little at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- In two glasses, decoratively drizzle the warm fudge sauce.
- Add the milkshake mixture evenly into the glasses.
- Top each milkshake evenly with the malted whipped cream, a square of the Nutella-pretzel fudge, and a toasted marshmallow.
- Serve.
