Ingredients:

2 cups

Whole Milk

2 cups

Heavy Cream

1 cup

Sugar

1 tsp

Salt (fine)

8 large

Egg Yolk

1 cup

Nutella

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

2

Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 8 minutes

3

Cool and coarsely chop

4

In a medium saucepan, combine the hazelnuts, milk, cream, sugar, nutmeg, and salt and place over medium heat

5

Allow the mixture to reach a bare simmer, remove from the heat, cover, and let steep 1 hour

6

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids

7

Place the yolks in a large bowl and whisk until smooth

8

Pour in the strained milk mixture and whisk to combine

9

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon and registers between 170 degrees F and 175 degrees F on an instant-read or candy thermometer, about 10 minutes

10

Immediately strain the custard into a bowl

11

Set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cool

12

Refrigerate the custard until very cold, about 2 hours

13

Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions

14

When just about frozen, add the Nutella, a spoonful at a time, churning after each addition to create flecks in the gelato

15

Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 2 hours
