Few dessert drinks feel as luxurious as a Ferrero Rocher Milkshake. Rich chocolate, creamy vanilla ice cream, silky Nutella, and crunchy Ferrero Rocher chocolates come together to create a thick, indulgent treat that’s every chocolate lover’s dream.
If you already enjoy Ferrero Rocher chocolates, this milkshake transforms those familiar flavors into a smooth, creamy dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Every sip delivers the signature combination of chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and creamy filling that makes these chocolates so irresistible.
What I love most about this recipe is that it feels like something you’d order at an upscale dessert café, yet it comes together in just a few minutes with a blender and a handful of ingredients.
The first time I made this milkshake, I expected it to taste like a simple Nutella shake with chocolate candies blended in. Instead, the Ferrero Rocher chocolates added a deeper roasted hazelnut flavor, while tiny wafer pieces blended into the drink gave every sip a little extra texture that made it feel even more decadent.
As it blends, the aroma is wonderfully rich with layers of creamy chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, and vanilla, making it nearly impossible to wait before taking the first sip.
Once it’s poured into chocolate-drizzled glasses and topped with whipped cream, it looks every bit as impressive as it tastes.
Let me show you how to make this Easy Ferrero Rocher Milkshake step by step.
Why This Recipe Works
Ferrero Rocher chocolates already combine several delicious textures and flavors, making them perfect for transforming into an indulgent milkshake.
Vanilla ice cream creates a thick, creamy base without overpowering the chocolate.
Nutella enhances the roasted hazelnut flavor while making the milkshake even silkier.
Blending several Ferrero Rocher chocolates into the shake gives every sip hints of chocolate, hazelnut, and crisp wafer pieces.
Drizzling chocolate sauce inside the glass creates beautiful presentation while adding extra chocolate flavor throughout the drink.
A generous swirl of whipped cream and a whole Ferrero Rocher on top turn an everyday milkshake into a dessert worthy of special occasions.
One thing I’ve learned after making this several times is that blending only three Ferrero Rocher chocolates into the milkshake keeps it perfectly smooth while still allowing the garnish to become part of the presentation. The whole chocolate on top makes the finished milkshake feel even more special.
Serving the milkshake in chilled glasses also helps it stay thick and creamy a little longer.
Ingredients
For the Milkshake
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 5 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, divided
For Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce
Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tall serving glasses
- Spoon or spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Add the vanilla ice cream, milk, Nutella, and three Ferrero Rocher chocolates to a blender.
Step 2: Blend Until Creamy
Blend on low speed before gradually increasing to high speed.
Continue blending until smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
Adjust the Consistency
If the milkshake is thicker than you prefer, blend in a little more milk one tablespoon at a time.
Taste the milkshake and blend in another spoonful of Nutella or an extra Ferrero Rocher if you’d like an even richer chocolate hazelnut flavor.
Step 3: Decorate the Glasses
Drizzle chocolate sauce around the inside of two chilled serving glasses.
This creates beautiful chocolate ribbons throughout the milkshake.
Step 4: Assemble
Divide the milkshake evenly between both glasses.
Top generously with whipped cream.
Finish with another drizzle of chocolate sauce and place one whole Ferrero Rocher chocolate on top of each swirl of whipped cream for a dessert café presentation.
Serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Ferrero Rocher Milkshake
- Use premium vanilla ice cream for the richest texture.
- Chill the serving glasses before filling.
- Blend just until smooth to keep the milkshake thick.
- Add milk gradually to control the consistency.
- Garnish just before serving so the whipped cream stays fluffy.
- If you’d like a thicker milkshake, freeze the serving glasses for about 15 minutes before filling them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using Warm Ice Cream
Slightly softened ice cream blends easily, but fully melted ice cream creates a thin milkshake.
Adding Too Much Milk
Start with the recommended amount and only add more if necessary.
Overblending
Blending too long melts the ice cream and makes the milkshake less creamy.
Skipping the Glass Decoration
Chocolate sauce inside the glass makes every sip even more flavorful and gives the milkshake a café-style presentation.
Variations
Extra Chocolate Version
Blend in a tablespoon of chocolate syrup.
Crunchy Hazelnut Version
Top with chopped toasted hazelnuts.
Mocha Ferrero Milkshake
Add a shot of cooled espresso for a coffee twist.
Salted Chocolate Version
Finish with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the whipped cream.

Storage Instructions
This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
If you have leftovers, freeze them for up to one day. Before serving, let the milkshake soften for several minutes, then stir or briefly blend until smooth again.
For the best texture, avoid refrigerating the finished milkshake, as it will quickly lose its thick and creamy consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this milkshake without Nutella?
Yes. The Ferrero Rocher chocolates provide plenty of chocolate and hazelnut flavor, although Nutella makes the milkshake richer and creamier.
Can I use chocolate ice cream?
Absolutely. Chocolate ice cream creates an even more decadent dessert, while vanilla allows the Ferrero Rocher flavor to stand out more clearly.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Milkshakes always taste best immediately after blending.
Can I add coffee?
Yes. A shot of chilled espresso pairs beautifully with the chocolate and roasted hazelnut flavors.
Why is my milkshake too thin?
Too much milk or overblending usually causes a thinner consistency. Adding another scoop of ice cream quickly thickens it again.
