Ingredients
- 2 cups Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato, recipe follows
- 1/2 cup coffee-flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua), or coffee
- 4 cups crushed ice
- 1/4 cup chopped chocolate-covered coffee beans, plus more for garnish, optional
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, crushed, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into glasses, sprinkle with chocolate covered coffee beans, and serve with a straw.
- 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.

Reviews
I bought an ice cream maker and knew I was going to make Giada’s gelato. I’ve never had Nutella and was a bit nervous if I would like the flavor. It is wonderful, creamy, nutty, chocolately, yummy.
I made just the gelato and it was very good. It took a long time to make though.
the gelato cooler was off the hook it was good. It sort of tastes like a milk shake without all the extra calories

I thoroughly love this drink….I didn’t have any chocolate covered coffee beans and it still tasted great. Thanks Giada, another winner
I am on a quest to make real gelato and this is as close as I have gotten so far.
