Nutella Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Blend whipped cream, milk, and chocolate-hazelnut spread in a blender until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Pour mixture into ice pop molds; freeze until solid, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Combine milk, cream, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate-hazelnut spread and vanilla and whisk until incorporated, and you no longer see any specks of chocolate. Do not let mixture come to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Refrigerate mixture until cold, about 3 hours.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate-hazelnut spread in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until slightly melted, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer gelato from the ice cream maker into a freezer-safe storage container. Drizzle with melted spread. Run a knife through to swirl the chocolate-hazelnut spread throughout the gelato. Freeze until set, 4 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl using a wire whisk. Nutella should be distributed through the mix but you will still have some flecks and small chunks of that do not dissolve.
• Pour mixture into ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. For a firmer ice cream, place into freezer after removing from machine and freeze an additional 2-4 hours or until it reaches desired consistency.

Steps:

• Combine nutella and chocolate, broken into small pieces, in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds or so, until mixture is melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
• Combine the egg yolks and half the sugar in a medium-size bowl. Whisk vigorously until the yolks thicken and become lemon-colored, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a heavy saucepan, combine the milk and cream. Sprinkle about half the sugar into the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat just when steam starts to form.
• To combine the egg and milk mixtures, slowly pour half the milk into the yolks while whisking constantly to temper it. Continue whisking in the rest of the milk. Pour mixture back into the saucepan and reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk constantly until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (175 F on a digital thermometer), 10-15 minutes. Do not let the custard boil or it will curdle!
• Pour the cooked custard over the chocolate mixture. Whisk until the chocolate is fully melted (I whisk a good 5 minutes for the nutella to fully incorporate).
• If cooling by ice bath, fill a large bowl (capable of holding the bowl with the custard) with lots of ice and very cold water. Set the bowl with the custard on top and allow it cool, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reads 40-55 F or is very cold to the touch. This takes me about 30 minutes. Or, if you prefer, refrigerate for several hours or overnight until very cold.
• Add the optional 1 Tbs of vodka. This will ensure that the ice cream will freeze with the smoothest texture and has no noticeable effect on the final taste.
• Pour the custard into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
