Easy Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream
Ingredients
For the hazelnut butter:
- 400 g Hazelnuts raw
For the ice cream:
- 2 cups 480ml Heavy cream, cold
- 1 can 400g Sweetened condensed milk
- 240 g Hazelnut butter
- ½ cup 60g Cocoa powder
Instructions
- DIRECTIONS
- Make hazelnut butter: Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
- Spread hazelnuts on a baking tray and roast for 8-10 minutes. Until slightly browned and the skins are blistered a little.
- Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on the tray. Wrap the hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove as much loose skin as possible. Remove skinned hazelnuts and repeat the process with unskinned hazelnuts. Note: it's pretty hard to remove all the skin, try to remove as much as possible but it's fine if you left with some skin on. Let cool completely.
- Place hazelnuts into the blender, add salt (optional) and blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Note: At the beginning it seems like it’s not blending well, but you have to be patient. First it will be crumbly, then it will form a paste, then it will be smooth and creamy. All the process takes about 5-15 minutes (depending on your blender/food processor).
- Make the ice cream: In a large bowl, place cold heavy cream. Whip to stiff peaks. Add sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup (240g) hazelnut butter/paste and whisk on low speed until incorporated. Chop 1/4 of roasted hazelnuts and add to the ice cream, gently fold. This step is optional.
- Transfer into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve!
