Nutella gelato

mmmmmm...

Made Giada's recipe for homemade

Nutella gelato

It is very creamy and chocolaty.

Would be delicious topped

with fresh strawberries.

Will definitely make again.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup

4 egg yolks

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup nutella

~

In a saucepan combine the milk, cream, and

1/2 cup sugar over med. heat.

Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 min.

Meanwhile, in a med. bowl, whip the egg yolks

with the remaining sugar, until the eggs have become

thick and pale yellow, about 4 min.

Pour 1/2 cup of the warm milk and cream mixture

into the egg mixture and stir to temper the eggs.

Add this mixture back into the saucepan.

Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly,

until it becomes thick enough to coat the back

of a wooden spoon, about 7-10 min.

Place a strainer over a med. bowl and pour

the warm custard through the strainer.

Stir in vanilla and hazelnut spread until

it dissolves. Chill completely before pouring

into your ice cream maker and follow

manufacturer's instructions to freeze.

Makes about 4 cups.
