Here is my homemade version of the classic treat Vienetta from back in the day. Homemade Viennetta is great for satisfying a sweet craving when it just won’t goo away !
The Homemade Viennetta Ingredients You’ll Need are:
- Some good quality vanilla ice cream*
- Magic Shell (one or two flavors, up to you)
- Waxed paper
- Brand new-reserved for kitchen use only- hair pick.
What Ice Cream Should I Choose?*
Do y’all remember how Breyer’s tasted when it first got really popular back in the day? They took ice cream to a whole new level. Breyers is still good and all, but I want you to go get the absolute best quality vanilla ice cream you can find. I suggest Blue Bunny (this is the best I have tasted in a while) or something from Bluebell if you have that where you are. Edy’s also makes some very good ice cream and a lot of people swear by Purity, but I haven’t had a chance to taste any of theirs yet so I’m just sticking to the ones I know as recommendations. Just go for the absolute best in your area.
How To Make Homemade Vienetta Step by Step Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with waxed paper. This will help you get your loaf out.
- Spread 1/3 of your ice cream into the bottom of the loaf pan.
- Run the pick along it to form deep grooves. These will fill in with our yummy magic shell.
You can make homemade magic shell if you want…but you can also buy it for about a dollar. No sense in making extra work for yourself…
- Pour a layer of magic shell over and allow to harden a minute.
- Add another 1/3 of your ice cream and dig grooves into it with your pick again.
- Pour magic shell over that as well. I’m using butterscotch this time.
- Now add the rest of our ice cream and dig grooves into it as well.
- Top this final layer with a drizzle of chocolate magic shell and immediately cover with aluminum foil and place in the freezer until firm.
- When ready to serve, allow to sit out for about five minutes and then remove from the pan using the waxed paper. Remove the waxed paper and place on a platter to slice and serve.
Ingredients
- 1.5 - 1.75 quarts good quality vanilla ice cream your favorite
- 1 bottle chocolate magic shell
- 1 bottle butterscotch magic shell*
- 1 hair pick brand new, labeled for kitchen use only
- Waxed paper

Instructions
*The original Viennetta did not have butterscotch so go with 2 bottles of chocolate if you want to be more in line with that.
