The offerings include: * Hand-scooped chocolate ice cream layered with Nutella and Carvel’s “chocolate crunchies” and then topped with even more Nutella * Soft-serve ice cream made with Nutella * Two sundae varieties made with Nutella soft-serve, bananas and chocolate crunchies, topped with whipped cream and more Nutella We were lucky enough to get our hands on some of the ice cream and soft serve to conduct a little taste-test. First, there’s the hand-scooped ice cream. It’s a true winner. The ice cream itself is creamy and tasty but it’s nothing _extraordinary._ What really makes this treat special, though, is the abundance of chocolate crunchies and generous heaps of Nutella. Each bite varies, but once in a while you’ll get one loaded with perfect chocolatey, nutty chunks. Then it becomes undeniable that this is indeed ice cream made with real Nutella and not some laughable knock-off. “The chunks seal the deal,” said one _TIME_ staffer, who considers himself something of a Nutella aficionado. “Go chunky or go home.” Next, we tried the Nutella soft-serve, which is a lighter alternative if you’re not in the mood for the admittedly very heavy hand-scooped ice cream. It’s smooth and airy, with milk chocolate overtones and just a subtle hint of Nutella’s signature hazelnut taste. Several TIME staffers agreed that unlike other soft-serve options, it doesn’t have a weird aftertaste, but it doesn’t taste super Nutella-y. The treats will be available through September 30. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2921863/carvel-nutella-ice-cream-soft-serve-sundae/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2921863/carvel-nutella-ice-cream-soft-serve-sundae/"},"headline":"We Tried Carvel's New Nutella Ice Cream, and We Like It","datePublished":"2014-06-30T12:00:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:09.913Z","description":"This sweet flavor will be available for three months only","url":"https://time.com/2921863/carvel-nutella-ice-cream-soft-serve-sundae/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","chocolate","Nutella","Ice Cream"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfcfefeee80bc2064/69869990e8524b39c4603a7a/nutella-products-with-tags.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfcfefeee80bc2064/69869990e8524b39c4603a7a/nutella-products-with-tags.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CARV-7394-Nutella-Flavor-ILL-v3","caption":"CARV-7394-Nutella-Flavor-ILL-v3","creditText":"Carvel","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2921863/carvel-nutella-ice-cream-soft-serve-sundae/","name":"We Tried Carvel's New Nutella Ice Cream, and We Like It"}}]}] ```
