Best No Egg Hazelnut Ice Cream Recipes

CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT GELATO

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the milk, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whip the egg yolks with the remaining sugar using an electric mixer until the eggs have become thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture and stir. Add this mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Place a strainer over a medium bowl and pour the warm custard mixture through the strainer. Stir in the vanilla and hazelnut spread until it dissolves. Chill mixture completely before pouring into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions to freeze. To serve, scoop gelato into serving bowls and top with hazelnuts.

NO-CHURN HAZELNUT ESPRESSO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Using an electric whisk, beat the cream, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl until the mixture resembles plain yogurt.
• Rub the toasted hazelnuts together in a clean tea towel to remove as much of their skins as possible. Discard the papery skins and roughly chop the nuts. Set aside a tablespoon or so to sprinkle over the top, then add most of the nuts, the condensed milk, and cooled coffee to the cream mix and beat together until it thickens to the consistency of yogurt.
• Pour the mixture into a 900 g (2 lb.) loaf pan, sprinkle over the reserved hazelnuts, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer 5 minutes before serving. The ice cream will keep, covered in the freezer, for three months.

HAZELNUT GELATO

Steps:

• Toast hazelnuts and rub off any skins in a kitchen towel, then cool completely. Pulse with 1/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a 3-quart heavy saucepan and add milk and heavy cream. Bring just to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and let steep, covered, 1 hour.
• Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and discarding solids.
• Beat together egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk mixture and transfer to cleaned saucepan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F (do not let boil). Immediately pour custard through cleaned sieve into a metal bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool, stirring occasionally. Chill custard, covered, until cold. Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
