But, please, PLEASE, I beg you...grab your ice cream maker RIGHT NOW and make this ice cream.
{If you don't own and ice cream maker, we'll see what we can do about that later this week.} ;)
Let me introduce you to Nutella Ice Cream with Toasted Almonds.
{I know, I know, Nutella is made with hazelnuts, not almonds, but my hazelnuts tasted funny. And you know what? Almonds are always delicious.}
Nutella Ice Cream with Toasted Almonds
1/2 cup blanched, slivered almonds
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate (I like Ghiradelli)
1/3 cup dutch-process cocoa powder (such as Hershey's Special Dark)
1 & 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup Nutella
{This ice cream is made with uncooked eggs, so if you feel uneasy about that or are serving to someone with a compromised immune system, try using pasteurized eggs.}
Preheat oven to 350. Pour the almonds onto a cookie sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside.
Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering (not boiling) water. Melt the unsweetened chocolate. Gradually add the cocoa; the mixture may clump up in the whisk...that's ok. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking with the chocolate mixture until combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool several minutes.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the sugar, a little at a time, whisking constantly. Once all the sugar has been added, whisk 1 minute more.
Add the cream and vanilla; whisk to combine.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and stir. Cover and refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
Before transferring to an ice cream maker, remove 1 cup of the mixture into a separate bowl and whisk in the Nutella until smooth. *sigh*
Add this back into the main mixture and stir. Process in an ice cream maker. About 3 minutes before the freezing cycle is complete, add the toasted almonds.
Once the freezing cycle finishes, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze a few hours to firm up.
***Even if you think you don't like Nutella....oh, I know who you are (I'm lookin' at YOU, Amanda), try this ice cream. Mr. E "doesn't like Nutella" and ate two servings tonight. The Nutella makes the ice cream super creamy, dreamy and rich.***
Go make it. I'm serious....GO!
{PS...you need some cake to go with that? Check out my friend Amy's glorious Chocolate Hazelnut Cake.}
This looks so good! I asked for an ice cream maker for my birthday after reading your blog on the dark chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Adding this one to the list of must try as soon as I get my ice cream maker in 2 weeks. My in-laws own an ice cream shop and I have helped out with some of the photo shoots. The stylist do not even use ice cream for the photos. They use play doh and shortening. For the record your ice cream pictures look great to me!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, this looks yum, yum, yum. But I have to ask - where can we get the biscoff spread???????????? Please do share!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I agree with Tracy on the pictures ... could almost just reach through the screen and take a scoop! This ice cream sounds fantastic. I have an older ice cream maker, you know the kind you have to pack with ice and rock salt and cover with a towel ... would love to have one of the newer countertop versions.
ReplyDeleteLooks heavenly. Are those the little IKEA glasses?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... Looks simply amazing, Bridget!! Cannot wait to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so dark, rich and delicious. My favorite kind of ice cream!
ReplyDeleteYummy! it looks decadent I LOVE nutella I might eat it alone spoon by spoon ... Am I guilty? haha
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Nutella but I keep hearing about it, even seen it at the store and thought about buying it. But this is really interesting as ice cream....are you issuing samples? Ha! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like some alone time with that ice cream.
ReplyDeleteUm. Num!!
ReplyDeleteI have a jar of Nutella toasted almond butter sitting on my counter! It is a really great combination, wish I could throw it in an ice cream maker...
ReplyDeleteMy heart does a little leap inside my chest when you say "nutella".
ReplyDeleteWhat a tempting recipe and a superb looking ice cream. I would go make it but still no ice cream maker :( Checked out Amy's cake though and I can make that...looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteNow, I've seen cake and ice cream, it's 12:10 a.m. and I have to submit this comment and go to my freezer and grab a store bought frozen ice cream bar...*sigh*
You just made my mouth water! :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious ice cream, I wish I can have 2 big scoop right now.
ReplyDeletei take terrible pics of ice cream as well. when i take pictures of it outside, the lighting is good, but it melts away. when i take pictures inside, it doesn't melt as fast, but the lighting is terrible. but i did find that if you put the bowl in the freezer for awhile first, the ice cream will melt slower, and that buys you some time for taking pictures.
ReplyDeleteYah, I'll be making this. First, I have to steal my mom's ice cream maker. :)
ReplyDeleteBridget!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish!
I can't ever remember tasting Nutella except once or twice over in Europe when it was served with toast at breakfast.
Can you believe that.
I know this must be HEAVEN!
Speaking of heaven.
it would be absolute HEAVEN if you were giving away an ICE CREAM FREEZER!!!!!!!!!
Can I tell you a little secret.
If I tell you this will you feel sorry for me way up here in the Northwest.
if I tell you this secret will you only tell me about the giveaway~so noone else will enter~i promise to comment 100 times! ;o)
If I tell you this will you pretend that I'm a stranger and not a bestie when you announce that I won the ice cream freezer!!!!
Feel very sorry for me when I tell you that I can't seem to find a good ole ice cream freezer anywhere up here in the Northwest!
I'm serious.
I have looked everywhere!
Homemade ice cream is not as popular here as it is in the south. :o(
My sister is always bragging on the homemade ice cream that she makes...and I'm stuck up here without a freezer!!!!
If you want the FAMILY Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream recipe I will share it with you if you rig the giveaway and let me win! ;)
{are you giving away a freezer?} ;o)
Also...you must...must try my Peach Nehi Ice Cream!!!!
OMG!
That was my specialty back when I lived in The South and had an ice cream freezer.
Hugs to you Sweet Girl!
No pressure about the giveaway!!!! ;o)
Oh my goodness! This ice cream looks amazing! I don't care if you think these ice cream pictures are not pretty enough! They are simple gorgeous to me. I'm one of those people who don't have an ice cream machine yet! (sounds like you were talking right at me in your post) Gosh...I really wish I have one so I can make this ice cream right the way! I LOVE Nutella AND ice cream!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. Sadly I can't eat it because of my bad nut allergy. Don't you people care? I couldn't eat the cupcakes at my cousins birthday party because they had nutella on them. Once I was stuck on the couch unable to move because of the pain because... I ate nutella so could you please post a delicious nut free chocolate ice cream sometime. I think I need it.
ReplyDeleteFor the fact that it has Nutella on it, certainly it's a delicious ice cream. Don't worry about your shots, they are still enticing! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteSell WoW Account
Ugh ice cream pics are so difficult! Lol every blogger thinks it. Thanks for giving a voice to this Bridget. ;D Oh and yum!!
ReplyDeletePretty or not that ice cream sounds delicious! I hate taking ice cream photos.
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "nutella" - love, love, love this. And cute cup, by the way :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I was in the 'do not like' Nutella camp but it's more 'do not like Nutella from a spoon' camp...put it in something and everything changes. Bet this is great.
ReplyDeleteMy 8 year old is drooling over the computer screen. She requests (doesn't get though) a Nutella sandwich everyday for lunch or an afternoon snack. I think it's time to purchase an ice cream maker.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share.
I don't know, Bridget - you look like an ice cream stylist to me because that looks AMAZING!! I can't wait to make it. :)
ReplyDeleteyou are killing me here!....we still haven't made any ice cream yet this year!......I think I'm going to need to pull that machine out since you just wont let up on me! haha
ReplyDeletelook delicious!
First off, your pictures are PERFECT!!
ReplyDeleteThis ice cream looks so rich and chocolatey. Can't wait to try it!!
I'm off to the store right now!
ReplyDeleteOh yummy! I'm going to have to steal my ice cream make back from my brother now for sure.
ReplyDeleteLOL I seriously was commenting in my head as I was reading your post, "She sure took some pretty pictures but I am just gonna have to take her word for it on this one..." THen I choked on giggles seeing your comment!!! LOL I love you girl!
ReplyDeleteSadly I have never tried Nutella before. I walk by it in the store all the time but never think to try any. What does it taste like? I know it's a spread, it kind of looks like chocolate peanut butter. Yeah I know shame on me that I have never tried!!!! :-(
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream looks yummy!! I used to make ice cream ALL THE TIME, sooooooo yummy! My parents had a ice cream maker and I was the one that made ice cream when they requested some. However, I haven't done it in some years and I tell myself that I'm going to every spring/summer, but haven't! (shrugs)
ReplyDeleteoh, my gawd. i'm a fiend for all of the things in this recipe! and let's just say the photos to a proper job of making me want to eat 38 pounds of ice cream.
ReplyDeletebelieve me you dont have to beg
ReplyDeleteBut you chould be an ice cream stylist. I wanted to lick my screen to get that drip running down the rim of the cup in the last picture! YUM!
ReplyDeleteGirl I think your ice cream looks fabulous but I have the same problem. The stuff always melts when I start shooting. LOVE that nutella in there!
ReplyDeletemy eyes, my eyes!!!! LOL!! why yes, i think i will make a batch of this deliciousness
ReplyDeletelooks so delicious.. love those nutella spread ..
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteaffordable insurance
Oh my!
ReplyDeletePics are great and it all looks super yummy to me!!
ReplyDeleteHey.. it sounds pretty and I bet it tastes pretty too. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! LIke stick to the room of your mouth good...like give me some now good!
ReplyDeleteOh I love those Biscoff cookies. They're the benefit of flying Delta!
ReplyDeleteI would find a way to make it into a layercake. Possibly in the frosting.
My favorite ice cream flavor is coffee. I can use all the caffeine I can get! LOL
ReplyDeleteAs a Nutella fan who rarely if ever buys it cause we eat the entire jar far too quickly (putting it on EVERYTHING), this ice cream took my breath away. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteI would like the ice cream maker, my favorite ice cream flavor is Rum Raisin Ice Cream.
ReplyDeleteI don't know...for not being an ice cream stylist, that photo is pretty appealing! But anything with nutella is appealing to me! Yum. Sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow. Nutella ice cream. Genius. Where is the cute bowl from?
ReplyDeleteI need the biscoff spread desperately! I recently moved to Iowa and have no friends and no job. I went searching for the cookies and the spread here after your brownie post and of course they don't have them anywhere! Please send me some so I can make myself treats to drown my lonely sorrows!!
ReplyDeleteI also "need" the ice cream maker so I can make a batch of biscoff ice cream with the spread you are going to send me!!! ha
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! I will definitely follow your recipe :) Ice cream is one of my favorite dessert. It looks so delicious!
ReplyDelete... YES.
ReplyDeleteI would love the ice cream maker! Have been a fan of a lot of blogs, especially yours... but many bloggers have been posting up ice cream recipes that I could only dream of making~ hopefully, if I am lucky enough to get this ice cream maker... I would try making rhubarb ice cream? (rhubarb is an ingredient I haven't been courageous enough to tackle...) thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, nutella ice cream...it sounds heavenly!! I haven't incorporated nutella into any frozen treats yet and I must remedy that immediately!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks heavenly. Absolutely. Heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI made this over the weekend and it's my new favorite. I would suggest ribboning the nutella throughout the ice cream (don't add it to the base - instead, swirl it into the still-soft chocolate ice cream right after it comes out of the machine)for a more concentrated nutella flavor. And/or up the amount of nutella.
