Vegan Nutella Ice Cream
🇮🇹 Italy
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 (14 oz) cans light coconut milk
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Steps
- Chill your ice cream maker's bowl in the freezer overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Roast hazelnuts on a baking sheet for 8-12 minutes, until warmed and skins are loosened.
- Let hazelnuts cool slightly, then rub in a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
- Blend hazelnuts in a high-speed blender, starting on low and increasing speed, until broken into small crumbs.
- Melt chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until fully melted.
- Add melted chocolate to the blender with the hazelnut crumbs. Blend until smooth to form a hazelnut-chocolate butter, about 3 minutes.
- Remove 3 tablespoons of the mixture and set aside.
- Add coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt to the remaining mixture in the blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Transfer mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Churn chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, about 30 minutes, until it resembles soft serve.
- Swirl in the reserved chocolate-hazelnut mixture without fully mixing it in.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover with parchment paper, and freeze at least 1 hour until firm.
- Let sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes before serving. Store covered in the freezer up to 1 month.
