How to make creamy chocolate ice cream without an ice cream maker, a true delight — discover how to make it at home using pasteurized eggs. That way we’re safe for our health. You’ll find the traditional recipe and the one with the Bimby.

Today I offer a valid solution to make both adults and children happy.

When I was little, in my grandmother Maria’s pastry shop, we made semifreddos and truffles of all kinds.
I grew up with the scent of vanillin and anise instead of baby cologne.

One flavor I loved was Gianduia.
I managed to get close with this recipe by replacing the gianduia with Nutella, which makes the mixture elastic and very similar to the ice cream parlor flavors of the past.
