Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Allow the hazelnuts to cool completely before chopping them into small pieces.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the chopped hazelnuts, dark chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before covering it and refrigerating it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the gelato is almost fully churned, add the hazelnut praline and continue to churn until it is fully incorporated.
5
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the container in the freezer and allow the gelato to harden for at least 2 hours before serving.
