Italian Gelato Sundaes With Nutella Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine milk, cream, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate-hazelnut spread and vanilla and whisk until incorporated, and you no longer see any specks of chocolate. Do not let mixture come to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Refrigerate mixture until cold, about 3 hours.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate-hazelnut spread in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until slightly melted, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer gelato from the ice cream maker into a freezer-safe storage container. Drizzle with melted spread. Run a knife through to swirl the chocolate-hazelnut spread throughout the gelato. Freeze until set, 4 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Bring 2/3 cup of cream and espresso to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the sauce is smooth.
• Beat the remaining 1 cup of cream, adding powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, and almond extract in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Top with the warm fudge sauce, whipped sweetened cream, and nuts.

Steps:

• Combine milk, espresso powder, and sugar in a large saucepan.
• Heat just enough to dissolve the sugar and espresso powder.
• Remove from heat, add Amaretto and vanilla, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

• Line 6 small bowls with oiled plastic wrap, with as few wrinkles as you can manage.
• Melt chocolate in a double boiler, over a slow simmer.
• Use as low a heat as you can to avoid taking the chocolate out of temper.

• Refrigerate until ready to use.
• When ready to serve turn chocolate out of bowl, remove plastic wrap and place on a pretty plate.
• Freeze gelato in ice cream maker to manufacturers instructions.
• Make sure it is very cold going in, so the texture will be dense and creamy.
