One of my favorite things in the world is Nutella. I discovered it by making little chocolate "raviolis" inspired from Italian cooking goddess Giada de Laurentiis. It's been one of my favorite things ever since. Nutella is a hazelnut chocolate spread. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a huge chocolate lover but this stuff is just amazing! You can't not like it. And a nutella ice cream just sounded like a dream come true for me.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup of nutella
2/3 cup of sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
2 tbsp dark rum (oops I may have put more)
Chopped up hazelnuts or hazelnut cookie pieces. I used Piroulines, those yummy stick shaped hazelnut cookies (optional)
Ice cream is really easy to make by the way. All you do is combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or blender until smooth. Some ice creams it's better to heat the milk if you are infusing the flavor but this one is fine. I used a hand held mixer and a large bowl, blending till the nutella was fully incorporated. Then I turned on my ice cream maker and let it go for about 10 minutes, while it was still turning in the last 10 minutes I added the pieces of Piroulines. After the ice cream has taken on a frozen like state (as in the image to the right) I put it into some tuber ware in the freezer where I let it completely freeze (usually 3-4 hours if you can wait that long). I served it alongside some leftover coconut ice cream I made but it's definitely a hit on it's own. And of course I had to top it with a full pirouline cookie ;)
Enjoy this delicious ice cream treat! More ice cream to come!
Keep ordering,
