A super chocolaty gelato enriched with toasted hazelnuts is a creamy, smooth chocolate dessert. An elegant treat to enjoy on these hot summer days.
Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
pinch of salt
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted
In a small frying pan toast hazelnuts on low heat for about 7 minutes, chop, set aside. In a medium size pot combine all ingredients, including half of the nuts. On medium heat whisk constantly till mixture comes to a boil. This takes about 8-10 minutes. Strain chocolate into a bowl and place in refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Pour into an ice cream machine and mix until gelato thickens. Top with the other half of hazelnuts. Serve soft or put in a plastic container and freeze to serve more frozen.
