1. Ohhhhhh, that does sound

good. The vodka really surprised me, but would give a nice "kick". :rofl:

2. Me, too, but

it's only a tablespoon. I'm figuring it might be there to keep the Nutella from freezing up too hard, maybe? :shrug:

3. off to buy a little bit of vodka

must keep it authentic on the first run! It sounds so yum, I had to go dip the spoon into the Nutella!

4. Drooly, drooly, drool...

IF I could eat ice cream I would definitely try this recipe. My only question is why vodka and not Frangelico?

5. I haven't made this yet

but I'm still thinking that the small amount of vodka mixed in might only be to keep the nutella from getting too hard, keep it from freezing to the consistency of a rock.

It's just my guess. :shrug:

6. I'm sure your instincts are right.

Vodka will definitely kick the flavor up a notch but Frangelico would deepen the hazelnut experience in the dish. When a friend served a dessert of lemon sorbet with a shot of icy vodka poured over it the effect on both the vodka and the sorbet was delicious, so I'm sure the addition of vodka would do the Nutella ice cream no harm. Because there is no extra sugar in the vodka that spirit might even spike the flavor better than Frangelico, but I'd be tempted to try it with Franny anyway.

Edit for clarity.

7. Oh, so would I, V.

I love that stuff and have ever since my first sip. LOL

It's the only thing we put in our tiramisu, both in the cream and the coffee to drizzle on the lady fingers. Much better flavor there, for sure.

:hi: :loveya:

8. The more stuff comes out...

the more I think we must be related. :hug: :loveya:

10. LOL! Stranger things have happened.

I wouldn't be against the idea. ;)

9. Our favorite in Italy was /is

nocciola (noh-CHO-lah) - This is hazelnut all by itself.

Another = bacio (BAH-cho) - Named for the famous chocolate candies that come from Perugia, this is a chocolate hazelnut combination not unlike Nutella (which is another common gelato flavor), often with bits of hazelnuts in the mix.

11. Error in the recipe? This can't be right.

"The ice cream lasts about a week in the freezer."
