Nutella Gelato

One of Italy's finest exports, Nutella, eaten by all; on bread or simply with a spoon.
Together with ice cream and hazelnuts makes a delectable dessert.

Although you can be creative and make ur own ice cream, to make life easier for yourself, simply buy a 4 litre tub of vanilla ice cream and set aside until slightly melted. (Do Not let it melt completely, as when it re-freezes, it will become icy) Melt about 2/3 cup of nutella in the microwave until it is runny. Roughly chop up about a cup of hazelnuts and using an electric mixer, combine the ice cream, nutella and hazelnuts.

Use the original ice cream container from the vanilla ice cream, and poor the ice cream mix back into the tub and leave to freeze over night.

If you want to get decorative and creative, you can make some chocolate shapes. All you need is melting chocolate and a thin nozzle piping back.

This dessert is perfect for finishing off a meal, or while your curled up on the couch, watching a great movie.

Enjoy
