Pretzel Nutella Ice Cream Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Place a sheet of wax paper on a small freezer-safe plate or pan. Place about a dozen pretzels on the wax paper. You'll want to work in smallish batches, around 12, because the ice cream melts quickly. Smear some Nutella on a small amount of pretzels. Top with about a teaspoon of ice cream and place another pretzel on top
• Freeze for about an hour, or until they're solid. Again, working in small batches (and quickly) smear a little Nutella on one end and dip in crushed hazelnuts. You may want to return these to the freezer for a while to re-harden them. Or you can eat them right away.
• Please note: If you plan on making these and saving them, transfer them to a freezer bag so they don't end up tasting like the inside of your fridge.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Unroll pizza crust and cut into 2-inch squares. Roll each square into a ball and place on a cookie sheet.
• Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in baking soda until dissolved. Add pizza balls to the boiling water in batches. Cook until puffed up and floating, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle salt on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Mix Neufchatel cheese, chocolate-hazelnut spread, and milk together to make chocolate dipping sauce. Add more milk for a thinner dip. Mix mustard and honey together in a separate bowl. Serve warm pretzel bites with dipping sauces.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 300°F.
• 2. Spread the pretzels on a sheet pan and toast for 15 minutes, until the pretzels have slightly darkened in color and your kitchen smells pretzely. Cool completely.
• 3. Put the pretzels in a large bowl, pour the milk over them, and stir while steeping for 2 minutes.
• 4. Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the soggy pieces of pretzel.
• 5. Bloom the gelatin (see note below).
• 6. Warm a little bit of the pretzel milk and whisk in the gelatin to dissolve. Add the remaining pretzel milk, glucose, brown sugar, cream cheese, salt, and baking soda and whisk until all of the ingredients are fully dissolved and incorporated.
• 7. Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream is best spun just before serving or using, but it will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
