Best Nocciola Gelato Hazelnut Gelato Recipes

HAZELNUT GELATO

Steps:

• Combine milk, cream, and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Beat egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar together in a bowl until mixture is light yellow, about 4 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup milk mixture into egg mixture until smooth; pour into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan, stirring continuously. Cook, stirring continuously, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 8 to 10 minutes; remove from heat.
• Stir chocolate hazelnut spread, espresso powder, and vanilla extract into milk mixture until well combined; pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Refrigerate mixture until cold, about 3 hours.
• Pour milk mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

CREAMY GELATO

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat the milk and cream and reduce over medium heat until 2 cups remain. In a large bowl, using a whisk, beat the sugar with the egg yolks until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• Heat the mixture over simmering water, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the spoon. Make sure not to overheat or let the mixture coagulate. When thickened remove the bowl from the heat and continue stirring for a minute to ensure the mixture is uniformly cooked. Let cool to room temperature, refrigerate, covered, until completely cold, preferably overnight.
• Process the mixture in an ice cream freezer following the manufacturers instructions. Serve immediately.

HAZELNUT GELATO

Steps:

• Toast hazelnuts and rub off any skins in a kitchen towel, then cool completely. Pulse with 1/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a 3-quart heavy saucepan and add milk and heavy cream. Bring just to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and let steep, covered, 1 hour.
• Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and discarding solids.
• Beat together egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk mixture and transfer to cleaned saucepan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F (do not let boil). Immediately pour custard through cleaned sieve into a metal bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool, stirring occasionally. Chill custard, covered, until cold. Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
