2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Custard Base
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it begins to simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until they are well combined and pale yellow in color.
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the custard from heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
Stir in the vanilla extract and chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Step 2: Preparing the Gelato
Once the custard is chilled, fold in the chocolate hazelnut spread until it is fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
During the last few minutes of churning, add in the chopped hazelnuts to the mixture.
Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 3: Serving and Enjoying
Remove the gelato from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.
Serve the gelato in waffle cones or bowl and top with extra chopped hazelnuts for added crunch.
Sit back, indulge, and savor every bite of this decadent and authentic Italian dessert.
