Chocolate-Hazelnut Gleato
The holidays bring out many family traditions. We enjoy homemade Nutella gelato. This recipe is from the food network's Giada De Laurentiis.
Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato
- Total Time:
- 2 hr 55 min
- Prep
- 10 min
- Inactive
- 2 hr 30 min
- Cook
- 15 min
- Yield:
- 6 to 8 servings (about 4 cups)
- Level:
- Easy
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, crushed, for garnish
Directions
In a saucepan combine the milk, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whip the egg yolks with the remaining sugar using an electric mixer until the eggs have become thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture and stir. Add this mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Place a strainer over a medium bowl and pour the warm custard mixture through the strainer. Stir in the vanilla and hazelnut spread until it dissolves. Chill mixture completely before pouring into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions to freeze. To serve, scoop gelato into serving bowls and top with hazelnuts.

The August Featured Pizza is a Pizza Margherita.
The August Featured Pizza is a Pizza Margherita. The red, white, and green ingredients are an homage to the Italian flag. The beauty of a Margherita pizza is in the simplicity of it's fresh ingredients - uncooked crushed tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella cheese, and fragrant fresh basil. The original pizza was created by an Italian baker from Naples (Grandpa Carbone's family Province) in honor of Queen Margherita.
