Ingredients
​2 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
5 egg yolks
1 cup of sugar
Dash of vanilla extract
2/3 cup Nutella
2 generous handfuls of halves cherries
1/4 cup of your favorite coffee
Directions
Over medium heat in a large sauce pan add in the 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of cream, and 1/2 cup of the sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved (about 5 minutes).
While the sugar is dissolving beat the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar until pale yellow.
Once the sugar has been dissolved in the cream mixture take about 1/2 cup of the cream mixture and stir it into the egg yolk mixture.
Once the cream mixture has been incorporated into the egg yolks dump the egg mixture into the cream mixture and lower the heat to medium-low.
Whisk this mixture constantly until the mixture coats the back of the spoon (I took it to a temperature of 195 degrees).
Strain the cream and egg mixture into a large bowl and whisk in the Nutella and vanilla extract.
Cover the bowl and transfer to the fridge to relax overnight
In a bowl soak the cherries in the coffee and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar on the counter overnight
Freeze the cream mixture per your ice cream manufacturer’s instructions. When there is a couple minutes to go add strain the cherries and add them in.
