You know that feeling when you’re craving something sweet, and only that iconic hazelnut cocoa spread will do? Well, get ready to upgrade your late-night snack game because Nutella is officially diving headfirst into the frozen dessert world! After decades of gracing our toast, waffles, and midnight munchies, the beloved spread is finally getting its own ice cream line.
Your Freezer Just Got an Upgrade
Mark your calendars for May 13th, because that’s when the brand announced its very first Nutella ice cream collection. This is a huge moment for a product that’s been a staple in kitchens worldwide for over 60 years. They’re not just dipping a toe in; they’re launching with two exciting options designed to satisfy every kind of craving.
First up, we have the 14-ounce Nutella Ice Cream tub. Imagine a rich, spoonable delight that delivers that signature hazelnut cocoa flavor in a creamy, multi-textured format. It’s basically your favorite spread, but in a pint-sized dream. Perfect for scooping straight from the container!
On-the-Go Indulgence
But wait, there’s more! For those spontaneous moments when you need a treat on the move, Nutella has also rolled out single-serve wafer cones. These aren’t just any cones; they’re packed with swirls and layers of that unmistakable Nutella flavor. Talk about a portable party for your taste buds!
The brand shared that these frozen delights are pretty accessible, with tubs reportedly starting around $4.36 and a four-pack of cones coming in at about $5.47. As the company put it, this is the freezer-aisle debut that fans have been eagerly anticipating.
A Busy Year for Nutella
This ice cream launch caps off an already eventful year for Nutella. Just recently, they surprised us all with Nutella Peanut, their first new flavor innovation since the brand first appeared way back in 1964. It seems like Nutella is really exploring new frontiers!
This move also fits into a larger strategy for Ferrero, Nutella’s parent company. They’ve been making big waves in the frozen dessert market, especially after acquiring Wells Enterprises, the company behind popular brands like Blue Bunny and Halo Top. It’s clear they’re serious about expanding their frozen offerings.

And in case you missed it, Nutella even went viral recently when a jar was spotted floating aboard NASA’s Artemis II spacecraft during a livestream. The company playfully leaned into the cosmic moment, posting, “Nutella is out of this world.” Talk about reaching new heights!
