Ingredients

• 1 cup Hazelnuts
• 2 cups Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

Step 2

Allow the hazelnuts to cool slightly before rubbing them with a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. It's okay if some skins remain.

Step 3

Place the roasted hazelnuts in a food processor and process until you achieve a fine nut butter consistency. This should take about 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the hazelnut butter with almond milk, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.

Step 5

Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 6

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming, and freeze for at least 2-3 hours until firm.

Step 7

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
