## Ingredients

- 75 g Hazelnuts
- 400 ml Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 5 pcs Egg yolks
- 75 g Sugar
- 300 ml Double cream
- 50 g Milk chocolate

## Steps

1. Toast the hazelnut kernels in the oven at 175°C fan until the skins crack, about 10 minutes. (10 min)
2. Wrap the nuts in a clean cloth and rub off the skins completely.
3. Grind the warm hazelnut kernels in a food processor to a fine hazelnut flour.
4. Slowly heat the hazelnut flour, milk and salt in a saucepan to 90°C, stirring.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and blend the mixture with a stick blender.
6. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and set the hazelnut milk aside.
7. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy.
8. Heat the double cream, milk chocolate and hazelnut milk in a saucepan almost to the boil.
9. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the egg mixture, stirring, then pour everything back into the saucepan.
10. Heat, stirring, until the temperature reaches exactly 80°C — check with a cooking thermometer.
11. Chill the hazelnut custard in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight, then churn in an ice cream maker to the desired consistency. (60 min)
12. Put the ice cream in the freezer for 2 hours before serving. (120 min)
