Toasted Hazelnut Coffee and Nutella ice cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Today’s dessert is nutty, creamy sweet and delicious. It’s almost impossible to go into an ice-cream shop and not see a coffee flavored ice-cream. So I decided that us home cooks should have one in our arsenal as well. And this recipe is even better than the ones in the parlor because its jam packed with toasted hazelnuts and Nutella. As if coffee ice-cream needed to get any more awesome than it already is!

Cocoa & hazelnut compound butter

 "Feast of Saint Valentine"

 This has got to be one of the best butters I have ever made. Last year I went on a compound butter spree.  The smell alone is just beyond awesome. I purchased that hazelnut flavoring a while back to use in home-made hot chocolates and totally forgot about it. While rummaging the cupboards to come up with this recipe I spotted it in the back and a light bulb went off.
