Homemade Cookies 'n' Cream Ice Cream with Nutella Swirl



Homemade Cookies 'n' Cream Ice Cream with Nutella Swirl

Homemade Cookies 'n' Cream Ice Cream with Nutella Swirl: The silkiest, creamiest ice cream made with no ice cream maker, no extra stirring, and only 7 ingredients! Packed with chocolate cookie crumbs and swirled with Nutella. You will never believe how good this is!

Serves: 6­-8 servings

Ingredients

2 tbsp granulated sugar
5 tbsp water
10 oz white chocolate, chopped
3 eggs, separated
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
8 Fudgeeos or Oreos, crushed
⅓ cup Nutella

Instructions

1. *If you wish to unmold and slice, line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Otherwise just have one handy.

2. In a large pot, combine sugar and water and bring to a boil over medium­high heat. Boil 1­2 minutes until
syrupy.

3. Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Add egg yolks, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.

4. With an electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the egg whites into the chocolate
mixture to lighten it. Fold in the other half.

5. In the same bowl the egg whites were in, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half into the chocolate/egg mixture. Fold in the other half.

6. Microwave Nutella for 20­25 seconds on high until slightly softened.

7. Stir in crushed cookies, reserving some for garnish if desired. Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a loaf
pan. Drizzle with half of Nutella.

8. Pour the remaining ice cream mixture over top. Drizzle with Nutella and sprinkle with reserved cookies. Swirl
with a knife.

9. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 6­8 hours or until firm. Cover with tin foil if storing for a longer period of
time.

Notes

**Be sure to use fresh, pasteurized eggs for this recipe as the egg whites are not cooked.
***If you’re having difficulty folding in the egg whites and cream, use a large whisk and stir very slowly.

140g butter (room temperature)

1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
Generous pinch of sea salt

middle, then fold the cookie dough back up so that it seals and covers the Nutella completely.

Gluten Free White Chocolate and Strawberry Cake



Gluten Free White Chocolate and Strawberry Cake

INGREDIENTS

125G BUTTER
½ CUP BROWN SUGAR
½ CUP MILK
2 EGGS
¾ CUP GLUTEN FREE SELF RAISING FLOUR
A HANDFUL OF STRAWBERRIES, CUT INTO QUARTERS
100G OF WHITE CHOCOLATE, CUT INTO SMALL BITS

FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

100ML THICKENED CREAM
200G WHITE CHOCOLATE, BROKEN INTO SMALL PIECES

YOU’LL ALSO NEED

SOME WHITE CHOCOLATE, TO CREATE SHAVINGS
3 WHOLE STRAWBERRIES, CUT INTO HEARTS

Let’s get cooking!

STEP ONE
Preheat your oven to 180ºC. Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

STEP TWO
Add the milk and eggs and beat until well combined. Add the gluten free self raising flour and beat gently until combined. Fold through the quarted strawberries and white chocolate bits. Pour into a lined 20cm round baking tin. Bake at 180ºC for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the baking tin.

STEP THREE
To make white chocolate ganache, bring the 100ml of thickened cream to just under boiling point. Take off the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted and a smooth sauce forms. Set aside. While the ganache cools down, shave some white chocolate. Place the block of white chocolate on a chopping board so the flat surface faces you. With a large flat knife perpendicular to the chocolate, run the knife along the chocolate with light pressure to create shavings. Place these shavings in the fridge until you are ready to decorate.

STEP FOUR
Once the cake has cooled. Pour over the white chocolate ganache and spread over the cake with a palette knife. Coat the cake with the white chocolate shavings, then top with the strawberries. I had a few parsley flowers in my garden that were so pretty, so added these as well – but they are purely optional, and for pure prettiness!

Serves 6. Best served with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Banana Hazelnut Bundt Cake



Banana Hazelnut Bundt Cake

Serve 10 to 12

Cake

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup hazelnut flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large, extra-ripe bananas (about 1 2/3 cup)
4 large eggs
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts (optional)
1/2 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate (optional)

Glaze

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
Pinch salt
3 to 4 tablespoon milk, at room temperature

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 12 cup bundt pan. (Mine is nonstick but I always butter it just in case.) In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, hazelnut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, the dark brown sugar, the granulated sugar, the sour cream until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and fold to combine. Fold in the hazelnuts and the chocolate. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake it until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the cake to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes, then flip the cake out onto a rack and let cool completely.

3. To prepare the glaze, melt the butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat. Cook , swirling the pan often, until the milk solids have turned golden brown and the butter smells nutty, about 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately transfer the butter to a medium bowl. Make sure to scrape out the lovely browned bits in the pan. Let the butter cool to room temperature.

4. Add the cream cheese to the butter and beat with en electric mixer until smooth. Then add the confectioners’ sugar and salt and beat again until smooth. Then beat in just enough milk to create a thick but drippy glaze. Drizzle the cake with the glaze to serve.

Nutella Brownie Fruit Pizza



Nutella Brownie Fruit Pizza

PREP TIME
30 mins

COOK TIME
20 mins

TOTAL TIME
50 mins

Nutella Brownie Fruit Pizza: a Nutella and cream cheese filling on a fudgy brownie base, topped with tons of fresh berries! Chocolate fruit pizza is the best kind! www.thereciperebel.com

Serves: 12-15

INGREDIENTS

For the brownie crust:

1 cup melted butter
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt

For the “sauce”:

1 8oz pkg chocolate cream cheese (or sub plain, and just add sugar if needed to sweeten)
1 cup Nutella

For the glaze:

½ cup water
1 tsp corn starch
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp strawberry jam

To assemble:

About ½ cups sliced strawberries
About ½ cup blueberries
About 1 cup raspberries
½ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
1-2 tbsp milk

INSTRUCTIONS

For the crust:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 14-16” pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar with a whisk until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add vanilla and eggs and whisk until smooth.
Add flour, cocoa powder and salt and stir just until smooth. (batter will be somewhat thick)
Spread a thin layer of brownie batter on the bottom of the pan (I used a 16” pan and made about a 13” circle – it will expand somewhat). You should have about ½” of brownie batter on the pan. Spread remaining batter into an 8x8” pan and bake alongside.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until set and a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool completely (can be made ahead and frozen).

For the “sauce”:

With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and Nutella until smooth.

For the glaze:

In a small pot, combine water, corn starch and sugar with a whisk. Heat over medium heat, whisking, until sugar and corn starch are dissolved. Stir in jam, and continue cooking and whisking until thickened. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

To assemble:

Spread “sauce” over brownie crust. Layer with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Brush berries with glaze.
Melt together chocolate and milk in a small pot on low heat.

Drizzle over finished pizza.

Store in the refrigerator, uncovered, up to a few hours. To store longer than that, I recommend freezing the crust (with the sauce on it if you desire), then thawing and topping before serving.
