Categories     Chocolate     Frozen Dessert     Hazelnut     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
3 ounces fine-quality milk chocolate
2/3 cup butter *
1 vanilla bean
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Garnish if desired: 1/4 cup chopped toasted skinned hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Chop chocolates into small pieces and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolates with hazelnut butter, stirring until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat.
  • Split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape seeds into a 3-quart heavy saucepan. Add pod, milk, and cream and bring mixture to a simmer over moderate heat. Remove pan from heat.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Add hot cream mixture to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking, and pour into pan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly until a thermometer registers 170° F. (do not let the custard boil or it will curdle.)
  • Pour custard through a sieve into a clean bowl and stir in chocolate mixture until combined well. Chill custard, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until cold, at least 1 hour, and up to 1 day.
  • Serve ice cream sprinkled with hazelnuts.

This is the best gianduia ice cream I've ever had. I will definitely be making it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my ice cream turned out icy. I think I might have over churned it.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of hazelnut, but I really enjoyed this ice cream. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I love the combination of chocolate and hazelnut in this ice cream. It's the perfect balance of sweet and nutty.

This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover gianduia. It's also a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

I've made this ice cream twice now, and it's been a hit both times. It's so easy to make, and it always turns out perfect.

This ice cream is absolutely divine! The texture is creamy and smooth, and the hazelnut flavor is rich and decadent. I love that it's not too sweet, so the hazelnut flavor really shines through.
