Choc Hazelnut Cream Liqueur Dairy Free Food

NO-EGG HAZELNUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine cream and milk in a large bowl. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
• Add hazelnut liqueur (here is where I would taste--add more liqueur or sugar to your liking).
• Stir in chopped hazelnuts.
• Add mixture to ice cream maker and process according to directions (takes 20-30 minutes in my ice cream maker). Freeze for 4 hours or overnight before serving.

CHOC-HAZELNUT CREAM LIQUEUR (DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• Break chocolate into pieces. Process chocolate 15 seconds, on high. Set aside. No need to rinse bowl/jug.
• Blitz hazelnuts 20 seconds, med-high speed, so it looks like nut meal. Add almond milk and set to 3 min on high. Test texture. If still grainy or gritty between your fingers do another 2 min on high.
• Put chocolate back in the bowl, add brown sugar and hot water. Mix for 3 min on low - medium speed.
• Add alcohol of choice. 10 seconds on low - medium speed.
• Serve immediately over ice or refrigerate for 2 hours, preferably overnight for best results. It thickens upon refrigeration. I put it in sterilised pasata bottles, so you can spoon it out if required.
• Once flavours have infused, serve over ice. Can water down if too thick.
• Makes about 1.5L give or take tasting and tweaking. Can keep for up to 2-3 months - if it lasts that long. I've had it longer in the fridge.
• NOTES:.
• * Yes there is a lot of sugar! It's a substitute for condensed milk. The nut to liquid ratio determines the thickness of the liquid.
• * To make this into a custard/mousse, reduce the water to 250 grams. It's very rich, so only small serves.
• * Be warned! It's addictive! :).
