Hazelnut ice cream is one of the most popular nut-based desserts, celebrated for its rich and creamy flavor.

To make it even more special, you can enrich it with a little chocolate shavings or caramel sauce. This ice cream is the perfect choice for a summer afternoon or as a festive dessert.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Grind the toasted hazelnuts in a food processor until you get a paste-like consistency. If desired, add a little milk to make the mixture smoother.

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, but do not boil.

    3

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the warm milk mixture to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

    4

    Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

    5

    Add the hazelnut paste and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the hazelnut paste is evenly distributed throughout the cream.

    6

    Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature, then pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    7

    If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Stir it every hour during the freezing process to prevent ice crystals from forming.

    8

    Freeze for at least 4-5 hours, or until the ice cream has reached the desired consistency. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
