My Nutella Gelato Story

Who among you have watched Despicable Me 2 and, perhaps, remembered that scene when one mobile ice cream car appeared then one minion shouted "GELATO!", saying it in the cutest way possible? :)

"Gelato is the italian name for an ice cream based on an egg custard mixture."

Here's the thing: Brace yourselves for I have made my own Nutella Gelato! You read that right!!! Okay, actually not my own, i just followed from some cookbook entitled The Food of Italy: A journey for foodlovers that i rummaged at our mini-library. Do you know that feeling when you want to try out cooking all the recipes found therein but you just can't because 1.The ingredients are expensive; 2. Ingredients are not usually found in the supermarket at your place; 3. You're a frustrated chef/cook. :(


As I flipped through pages, my heart was strucked when I saw how to make a gelato, which I think by far the easiest of all the recipes in the said book. I really really really love Nutella, to the point that you cannot fool me with other nutella-like brands that are available out there. Nah-aaahh. Those impostors, fakers and posers of my love. How dare you!! I really don't care if I carry my bag having 1kg of Nutella in it. Hahahaha! yes, 1 kilogram or 2.2 pounds!





Here are some pictures of Nutella Gelato

For your information, those photos above are not mine. All from the internet!
The sad part of my Nutella Gelato story:  No matter how perfectly you follow the instructions in the cookbook, your food will just turn out looking and tasting horrendous. But hey, Nutella saves!! It's an exception to that punchline.
