The creaminess of the hazelnut combined with the praline chocolate creates a perfect balance between sweetness and texture. It's the ideal dessert for those with a sweet tooth looking for a comforting and sophisticated ice cream!
Ingredients :
- 200g of hazelnut puree
- 150g of praline chocolate (or milk chocolate praline)
- 300 ml of milk (or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation :
1. Roast the hazelnuts :
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast them for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Once cooled, rub them between your hands to remove the skins.
2. Prepare the ice base :
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the praline chocolate with the milk and cream. Stir well until the chocolate is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Mix the hazelnuts :
Place the roasted hazelnuts in a food processor and process until you obtain a hazelnut paste. Then add this paste to the praline chocolate mixture and mix well. If you prefer to keep some crunchy hazelnut pieces, set aside a small amount to add later.
4. Add the sugar and vanilla :
Incorporate the sugar and vanilla extract (if you choose to use it) into the mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
5. Freezing :
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami and freeze for 24 hours.
6. Transformation into ice :
Take your tub out of the freezer and use the "Ice Cream" mode on your Ninja Creami . If you've reserved hazelnut pieces for extra crunch, add them after the first cycle using the "Mix-in" mode.
Tips for serving:
- Gourmet decoration : Add roasted hazelnut pieces praline chocolate shavings on top for an even more appetizing presentation.
- Perfect accompaniment : This ice cream pairs wonderfully with shortbread cookies or a slice of toasted brioche for even more indulgence.
