Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 ounces (1 cup) skinned hazelnuts
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
Baguette, optional if serving immediately
1/2 cup heavy cream
Sugar, large pinch, or more if you prefer a sweeter gianduia
4 tablespoons good quality salted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts out on small baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet and toast them in the oven until they are a deep toasty brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and set aside to cool completely.Melt the chocolate in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water over medium-low heat, stirring often.If serving the Gianduia immediately, place your bread in a 350 degrees F oven for 12 minutes.
  • Grind the hazelnuts with the sugar in a food processor to a fairly smooth, buttery paste.
  • Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove it from the heat and whisk in the cream and butter. Stir in the ground hazelnuts. The gianduia will thicken and become soft and peanut butter-like as it cools. Pour the mixture into small jars, or store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Serve the gianduia with rustic slices of buttered toast.

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Hazelnut     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups hazelnuts (about 6 1/4 ounces)
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
3 ounces fine-quality milk chocolate
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup Nutella* (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
*available at specialty foods shops and many supermarkets

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • Toast and skin hazelnuts (procedure this page). In a food processor pulse hazelnuts until coarsely ground (bits should be about 1/8 inch).
  • Chop chocolates into small pieces and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolates with butter and Nutella, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat.
  • While chocolates are melting, into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and a pinch salt. Whisk sugar into chocolate mixture until combined well. Add eggs, whisking until mixture is glossy and smooth. Stir in flour mixture and hazelnuts until just combined.
  • Pour batter into baking pan and bake in middle of oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out with moist crumbs adhering to it.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate and hazelnuts. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your ice cream.
  • Roast the hazelnuts before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Make sure the cream and milk are very cold before churning the ice cream. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
