Utah Nutella Fans Are Raving Over This Simple Hack

Nutella: the creamy, dreamy combo of hazelnuts and chocolate that works on toast, pancakes, ice cream—many Utahns say they could have their blood replaced with Nutella and probably live a better life.

There is one problem, though—a huge Achilles' heel to this tantalizing spread. It’s very hard to get the last portion out of the jar, especially if you leave it too long and it gets more solidified than a fresh jar.

You go for it with a spoon, but the jar shape and the stubborn yum just don’t cooperate. What to do? You could be wasteful and just throw it out, but that’s probably an international crime outlined in some peace treaty.

Our hero for this dilemma is content creator @that40yearguy (AKA Dustin to his friends), who shares a trick for every Nutella lover—and Utah is full of Nutella lovers, so this trick is for us.

I’ve reposted the tip here from Dustin himself, and I’ll add the directions in writing as well.

Here’s Dustin’s magic recipe: take your nearly empty Nutella jar and fill it about three-quarters of the way with heavy whipping cream. Add a spoonful of sugar, a dash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Screw the lid back on, then shake like you’re in a dance-off for a few minutes until it’s all blended. Pop that jar into the freezer for a few hours, and voilà—Nutella ice cream with a creamy texture. I had to try it for myself and me and the fam report with one word: Delicious.

If you’re a peanut butter fan, good news! Dustin tried the same trick with peanut butter—just skip the vanilla extract. As you can see in his post, he liked it... kind of, definitely not as much as the Nutella.

So, next time you’re down to that last stubborn scoop of Nutella (or peanut butter), turn it into a sweet, no-churn treat. It’s the tastiest way to savor every last drop, no spoon-wrangling required.
