Hazelnut, gelato and ChocRocks™ stracciatelli

This recipe by Italian ice cream magician Leonardo Di Carlo yields the perfect hazelnut gelato with an intense, fresh hazelnut taste and plenty of fruity flavour notes. To give the delightfully smooth frozen treat some texture and a hint of intense cocoa taste, chef Di Carlo also added some dark chocolate ChocRocks™ to the mix, making this stracciatella gelato into an incredible taste sensation.
