This is a great recipe...as are ALL of Giada's IMHO. I think it's important to mention because it's not clear in the recipe, that you whip the egg yolks separately with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar (til pale and creamy) and then slowly add 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks to temper them, and then add them back to the creamed mixture. This way you don't get scrambled eggs. A great recipe.

Very creamy and dreamy, soft and full of yummy Nutella flavour. I did not make it in an ice cream maker, just let it freeze overnight and stirred once or twice thoroughly, during the process. Smooth and soft, not a bit ice-grainy.

I added some finely crushed hazelnuts and a shot and a half of Frangelico before putting into the ice cream maker. Still getting rave reviews!!

Really creamy and delicious. I made this with peanut butter. We really like peanut butter ice cream but it is hard to find. This was of course better than store baught any day! Nice and dense and creamy! Thanks!
