Description
French vanilla ice cream studded with Nutella chips makes a decadent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups (473mL) milk
- 1 cup (192g) sugar
- 2 cups (473mL) heavy cream
- 2 tsp (9mL) vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60g) Nutella, to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, beat the eggs, milk and sugar until well blended.
- Cook the egg mixture over low heat for roughly 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. It should smoothly coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Let the mixture cool.
- Add the heavy cream and the vanilla.
- Stir until blended and refrigerate the mixture until it is completely chilled, for several hours or up to overnight.
- To make the ice cream without a machine, pour the chilled ice cream mixture into a sturdy freezer-safe pan.
- Place it in the freezer for thirty minutes to an hour and then beat the cream mixture vigorously with a whisk or a spatula to break up the ice particles.
- Place it back into the freezer and let it harden until it is beginning to freeze around the edges again.
- Stir it again and place it back in the freezer.
- Repeat this process until the ice cream forms.
- Once it is almost completely frozen, drizzle Nutella all over the top of the ice cream.
- Place the pan in the freezer until the Nutella hardens and then stir it up again, breaking the Nutella into chips.
- Before placing it back in the freezer, drizzle it with more Nutella.
- Repeat this process until you think the ice cream has enough Nutella, probably two or three times.
- Once the ice cream is finished, eat it immediately or transfer it to a sealed container and freeze it until you are ready to serve it.
- If you make the ice cream with a machine, follow the instructions of your ice cream maker, pouring the chilled mixture into your machine and stirring it until the ice cream forms.
- Wait to add the Nutella until the end of the process when the ice cream is beginning to harden.
- Then, continue stirring the ice cream with your machine and/or place it in the freezer to allow the Nutella to harden.
- Repeat the process two or three times if you want more Nutella.
