How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato

  1. Combine milk, cream, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the hazelnut spread and vanilla extract.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 4 hours, to allow the mixture to thoroughly chill.
  7. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  8. Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further. The longer it freezes, the firmer it will be.
  9. Serve and enjoy your homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato! Consider topping with chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
