Steps:
- Whisk first 7 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Stir 6 tablespoons warm water and espresso powder in small bowl until powder dissolves. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk in oil, vanilla and espresso mixture. Cool to lukewarm.
- Whisk eggs, then 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and ground hazelnuts into chocolate mixture; add to dry ingredients and whisk to blend well.
- Preheat waffle iron to medium heat, following manufacturer's instructions. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter (depending on size of waffle iron) into center of waffle iron; spread evenly with spatula. Close waffle iron and cook until waffle is cooked through but still soft and color on outside darkens, about 4 minutes (time will vary, depending on waffle iron). Using spatula, transfer waffle to rack. Repeat with remaining batter. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let waffles stand at room temperature. Before continuing, transfer to baking sheet and rewarm in 400°F oven until crisp, about 6 minutes.)
- Stir liqueur into warm Fudge Sauce. Cut each waffle diagonally in half, forming triangles. Arrange 3 waffle triangles on each of 6 plates. Dust with powdered sugar. Place scoop of ice cream atop waffle triangles. Pour Fudge Sauce over waffles and ice cream. Sprinkle with toffee bits and chopped hazelnuts.
GINEVRA IVERSON'S CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT ICE CREAM
This recipe came to The Times from Ginevra Iverson, a chef and former owner of Calliope in New York. To make this luscious ice cream, she melts a few tablespoons of butter along with the gianduja (hazelnut-imbued chocolate) before whisking it into the custard. The only potentially tricky part is combining those two mixtures; the custard and melted gianduja need to be the same temperature, otherwise you could break the two emulsions and the whole thing will contract and curdle. Feel free to substitute plain old Nutella for the gianduja, and when folding the roasted hazelnuts in, mind the nut dust you sometimes get from peeling them.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and spread hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool for about 10 minutes (or until cool enough to handle but still warm) and rub the nuts in a dish towel to remove most of the skins (some will cling and that's O.K.).
- In a medium bowl, melt together gianduja paste and butter, either over a pot with 1 inch of simmering water or in a microwave. Keep mixture warm.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the half-and-half, sugar, salt and vanilla bean to a simmer until the sugar melts, taking care not to boil. Stir occasionally.
- Place egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in a 1/4 cup of the hot half-and-half mixture, whisking constantly and carefully so as not to scramble the yolks. Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the remaining half-and-half, whisking constantly. Heat the custard through, but do not simmer. If you see curdled clumps in your custard, pass through a fine strainer before continuing.
- While whisking constantly, slowly pour the warm custard into the warm melted chocolate (you want the two mixtures to be the same temperature). Once the chocolate custard is thoroughly combined and smooth, whisk in heavy cream. Cover custard and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
- Pour chocolate hazelnut custard into an ice cream machine and chill according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Fold whole hazelnuts into ice cream, excluding any powder from the nuts (it just feels gritty on the tongue). Serve at once or freeze.
- To serve, drizzle with melted bittersweet chocolate.
DAVID TANIS'S CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT ICE CREAM
Homemade ice cream is fun to make all year round, especially now that many home ice cream machines use frozen cylinders instead of ice. For this rich, smooth ice cream, seek out top quality dark cocoa and chocolate. Hazelnuts with chocolate is a winning combination, but other nuts may be substituted; you may also omit nuts altogether.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast until quite dark, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Use a clean kitchen towel to rub off skins; discard skins. Crush nuts coarsely with a rolling pin or meat mallet and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat half-and-half and sugar over medium flame, whisking to dissolve sugar. Do not let mixture boil. Whisk in cocoa powder until completely incorporated, then add chopped chocolate and cook, stirring, until chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
- Put egg yolks, salt and tapioca starch in a small bowl and whisk together. Slowly add 1 cup of hot chocolate mixture to egg yolk mixture, whisking well to keep yolks from curdling. Pour combined mixture back into saucepan and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats back of spoon. Strain and let cool completely, then chill in an ice bath. (This chocolate custard may be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.)
- Churn the custard in an ice cream maker for 20 to 25 minutes until semi-firm. Stir in hazelnuts and transfer ice cream to a quart-size container. Place in freezer for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

FRANGELICO ICE CREAM (HAZELNUT)
Adapted from Bon Appetit's RSVP section. This recipe supposedly originated from a restaurant in Orlando, Florida. If you can't find Frangelico liqueur, I imagine this would be equally tasty with a different nut flavored liqueur. There are a few recipes on Zaar for making homemade Frangelico that you might wish to try in this.

HAZELNUT-CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM TRUFFLE
Steps:
- Whisk the milk and cocoa powder together in a small heavy saucepan until blended. Set over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the cocoa is completely dissolved.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a second small heavy saucepan until thick and lemon-colored. Ladle the hot cocoa mixture a little at a time into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until well blended. Set the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until dense and creamy, about 3 minutes. Strain into a bowl and cool to room temperature, covered with plastic wrap pressed directly to the surface.
- If you have an ice-cream maker, freeze the chocolate mixture in it according to manufacturer's directions. If not, set the bowl on the freezer shelf and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until frozen but still soft and moldable, from 2 to 3 hours. (You can "still-freeze" the ice cream like this up to a day in advance. Let it sit at room temperature until softened, about 10 minutes, before continuing.)
- To form the "truffles"
- Using a 4-ounce ice-cream scoop, scoop up a ball of the chocolate ice cream and poke a hazelnut into the center while the ice cream is still in the scoop. Drop the truffles onto a wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and hazelnuts, setting the formed truffles and the ice cream in the freezer if they begin to melt. Set the truffles on a level freezer shelf and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the remaining hazelnuts to the size of the chopped chocolate. Toss the chopped hazelnuts and the chocolate together on a separate baking sheet.
- Take the truffles out of the freezer and roll them one at a time in the chopped chocolate and hazelnuts until they are lightly coated. Return to the wax-paper-lined tray, and when all are coated, return the tray to the freezer. (Depending on the temperature and how quickly the truffles start to melt, you may have to do them in batches.) Freeze at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. If keeping the truffles more than a few hours, transfer them to a covered container once they are frozen solid.
- To serve, let the truffles stand at room temperature until softened, about 5 minutes, before serving. Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until it holds stiff peaks. Divide the whipped cream among chilled plates, mounding it in the center. Top with truffles and serve immediately.
NO-EGG HAZELNUT ICE CREAM
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.

COFFEE BAILY'S HAZELNUT ICE CREAM

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup of the cream with the milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Warm the cream mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and tiny bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the hazelnuts and coffee beans. Cover, remove from the heat, and let sit for 1 hour. Taste and let sit longer if you want a stronger flavor. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with several inches of ice water. Set a smaller metal bowl (one that holds at least 1-1/2 quarts) in the ice water. Pour the remaining cup of cream into the inner bowl (this helps the custard cool quicker when you pour it in later). Set a fine strainer on top. Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Rewarm the cream mixture over medium-high heat until tiny bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. In a steady stream, pour half of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a heatproof rubber spatula until the custard thickens slightly (it should be thick enough to coat the spatula and hold a line drawn through it with a finger), 4 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 175 degrees to 180 degrees F at this point. Don't let the sauce overheat or boil, or it will curdle. Immediately strain the custard into the cold cream in the ice bath. Press firmly on the hazelnuts and coffee beans in the strainer with the spatula to extract as much flavor as possible. Stir in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder. Refrigerate the custard until completely chilled, at least 4 hours. Then freeze the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fold the marshmallow Fluff into the just-churned ice cream, transfer to an air-tight container, and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to 2 weeks.

- Use fresh, high-quality hazelnuts. This will give your ice cream the best flavor.
- Roast the hazelnuts before using them. This will deepen their flavor and make them more aromatic.
- Use a food processor to grind the hazelnuts into a fine powder. This will help them to blend smoothly into the ice cream.
- Make sure your ice cream maker is properly frozen before churning the ice cream. This will help the ice cream to freeze quickly and smoothly.
- Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. Over-churning can make the ice cream grainy.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
