Ingredients

Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups (475 milliliters) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (150 grams) chocolate hazelnut spread

Strawberries:

  • 8 ounces (227 grams) fresh strawberries hulled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks.
  • Once the milk mixture is steaming, but not yet at a boil, slowly pour about 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) into the eggs while constantly whisking.
  • Once incorporated, slowly stream in and whisk another 1/2 cup (120 milliliters).
  • Slowly pour the mixture back into the saucepan over medium-low heat while whisking. Cook while continuing to stir until just thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 170-180˚F (77˚C-82˚C). Be careful not to overcook or it will curdle.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl.
  • Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours to overnight.

For the Strawberries:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside for 20-30 minutes, while the ice cream churns, then lightly mash.

To assemble:

  • Place an 8.5 x 4.5 inch (22 x 10 centimeter) loaf pan in the freezer.
  • Freeze the chilled custard in the ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Five minutes before the ice cream is finished churning, slowly add the diced strawberry mixture.
  • Place 1/3 of the churned ice cream into the cold loaf pan.
  • Drizzle 1/2 of the chocolate hazelnut spread over the ice cream and quickly use a toothpick or chopstick to swirl the mixture slightly.
  • Cover with another 1/3 of the ice cream.
  • Drizzle with the remaining chocolate hazelnut spread and quickly use a toothpick or chopstick to lightly swirl.
  • Cover with the remaining ice cream and smooth the top gently with a spatula.
  • Cover the loaf pan with freezer safe plastic wrap and freeze until the desired consistency is reached, about 4 hours, before serving.
