Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325ðF (165ðC). Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes until fragrant and skins crackle.
-
Wrap warm hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins. Lightly crush the skinned hazelnuts with a rolling pin or knife.
-
In a small saucepan, gently heat raspberries over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until soft and juicy. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
-
Chop semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and melt slowly, stirring until smooth.
-
Stir the mashed raspberries into the melted chocolate mixture. Let cool to room temperature.
-
In a separate bowl, combine your ice cream base ingredients (typically heavy cream, milk, sugar, and egg yolks if using a custard base) and chill thoroughly.
-
Fold the chocolate-raspberry mixture and crushed toasted hazelnuts into the chilled ice cream base.
-
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy.
-
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
