HoursIngredients
🌰 1 cup hazelnuts
🍫 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
🥛 2 cups whole milk
🥄 1 cup heavy cream
🍚 3/4 cup granulated sugar
🥚 4 egg yolks
🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
🍦 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for about 10 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Allow them to cool, then rub them in a kitchen towel to remove the skin.
- Blend the toasted hazelnuts in a food processor until they form a smooth paste. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until just about to simmer, then remove from heat.
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to the milk and cream mixture. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until pale and thick.
- Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. Gradually add more until well combined.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
- Stir in the hazelnut paste, vanilla extract, and salt into the custard. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your Ninja Creami container and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing and processing.
- Once your gelato is ready, scoop it into bowls or cones. Enjoy the creamy, nutty, chocolatey goodness, and don’t forget to share your creation with friends and family!
Notes
- Top with a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts.
- Serve with a side of fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
- Pair with a shot of espresso for an Italian-inspired treat.

I first tasted a hazelnut chocolate gelato on a crisp autumn day in Hackney, surrounded by the vibrant colors of falling leaves. The cozy cafes and artisanal shops inspired me to recreate this rich and indulgent treat at home. Every spoonful takes me back to that perfect day.
