PREPARATION TIME: 1 Hour

YIELD: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1⁄4 cup egg yolks
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 cup Nutella
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/8 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat as soon as it starts boiling and remove the pan from the stove.
2. Whisk in the vanilla extract and Nutella until the Nutella is completely dissolved, creating a smooth paste.
3. While you await the milk and cream mixture to boil, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they turn pale and foamy. Consider using an electric mixer for this step as it requires thorough whisking.
4. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while continuously whisking. Pour slowly to prevent the eggs from cooking due to the heat.
5. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. The mixture should thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon. If any lumps form, strain the mixture through a fine strainer to achieve a silky texture.
6. Allow the gelato mixture to cool, then cover it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight for the best results.
7. Once the mixture has thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing. The gelato should reach a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
8. Transfer the semi-frozen gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional two hours to achieve a scoopable texture.
9. When you’re ready to relish this Nutella Gelato masterpiece, scoop it into bowls and savor the harmonious blend of creamy gelato and Nutella’s enchanting flavors.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Strain the mixture if any lumps are present to ensure a velvety-smooth texture.
• Allow the gelato to freeze adequately for an enjoyable consistency.

TIPS:

• Serve the gelato with a drizzle of warm Nutella for an extra indulgent touch.
• Chilling the mixture overnight allows the flavors to meld for an enhanced taste experience.
