No-Egg Hazelnut Ice Cream image

I love to make ice cream with my ice cream maker, but I hate the hassle of making a custard base with all the extra egg yolks and heating and cooling times. This is a quick, easy, healthier alternative to making a custard base, and I actually prefer it because it is tastes lighter. You can vary the additives--here I use hazelnut liqueur and hazelnuts, but I'll post some other versions that I particularly like. I use skim milk because that's what I usually have around, but milk with more fat will give it a richer texture/flavor.
