Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups hazelnuts (8 ounces), toasted , skins rubbed off, and cooled
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao), finely chopped
Equipment: an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Pulse hazelnuts with sugar and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a heavy medium saucepan with milk and bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let steep, covered, 20 minutes.
  • Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then return to cleaned saucepan.
  • Put 1/4 cup milk mixture in a small bowl and whisk in cornstarch. Return to saucepan, then boil over medium heat 2 minutes, whisking often (mixture will be thick). Remove from heat and add chocolate, stirring until melted and incorporated. Chill, stirring occasionally, until very cold, 3 to 6 hours.
  • Freeze mixture in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to firm up.
