Chocolate Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker

Chocolate ice cream without an ice cream maker. Today I offer you a great solution to make both adults and children happy. When I was little, in my grandmother Maria’s pastry shop, we made semifreddo ice creams and truffles of all sorts.
I grew up with the smell of vanillin and anise instead of children’s cologne. A taste very dear to me was Gianduia.
I managed to get close to that taste with this recipe by replacing gianduia with Nutella, which makes the mixture elastic and very similar to the flavors of old-time ice cream parlors.
You will find the traditional recipe and the one with Bimby.
