Nutella Ice Cream

Who doesn’t love ice cream ! Every country has its own special flavor but the basic recipe still uses milk, cream, sugar and eggs in some cases. Non dairy varieties are getting more popular these days because of veganism as well as health issues where people cannot tolerate dairy. 

Indian flavors like kesar-pista (saffron -pistachio), kaju draksh (cashew-raisins), and various flavors of kulfi etc are very popular. While vanilla and chocolate are one of the most popular flavors.

Nutella is Italy’s gift to the world. It is a sweetened hazelnut and cocoa mixture used in countless ways- on waffles, crepes, sandwiches, dessert pizzas etc. 

Niki can eat nutella by itself, such is her love for the sweet spread. Pssst.. I try to hide it from her if I want to make a dessert out of it. This ice cream was inspired by our travel to Sorrento, Italy where Niki and her cousins had nutella ice cream at a local gelato parlor. I remember tasting it and it was lip smackingly good!!

The famous proverb "you are what you eat” as quoted by the French author Anthelme Brillat-Savarin is very true. Food nourishes you from the inside out. Good health is of utmost importance to me. Vegetarianism and Veganism are gaining immense popularity these days. Natural, organic, healthy and homemade is my mantra.
