How to Make Nutty Hot Babes Gelato Sundae

  1. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 2 tablespoons espresso powder, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar and espresso powder are completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons amaretto and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces mascarpone cheese with 1/4 cup heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste). Set aside.
  5. Line 6 small bowls with oiled plastic wrap, minimizing wrinkles.
  6. Melt 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Avoid overheating.
  7. Pour melted chocolate into prepared bowls, tilting to coat evenly. Refrigerate until set (at least 1 hour).
  8. Churn gelato base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the base is thoroughly chilled before churning for a dense, creamy texture. Freeze until firm (at least 4 hours or overnight).
  9. If using a smaller ice cream maker, you may need to churn in two batches.
  10. Warm 1/2 cup Nutella in a double boiler until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  11. To serve, carefully remove chocolate cups from bowls and plastic wrap. Place on plates.
  12. Fill each chocolate cup with a generous scoop of gelato.
  13. Drizzle with warm Nutella.
  14. Top with a dollop of cinnamon mascarpone cream.
  15. Garnish with chopped pistachios.
