Ingredients

  • 3 cups hazelnuts
  • 4 cups water, divided
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup to taste
  • Pinch salt to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the hazelnuts on a roasting pan and bake in the oven until they smell nutty and the skins crack, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove, place in a clean dish towel, and rub to remove some of the skins.
  • Put the hazelnuts into a jar and cover with water.
  • Soak for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Strain the hazelnuts.
  • Rinse and put into a blender with 2 cups of fresh water.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Strain through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth until most of the liquid is removed.
  • Pour the nut milk into a bowl and add the maple syrup and salt to taste.
  • Transfer to an ice-cream maker or large baking dish and freeze.
  • Temper slightly at room temperature before serving.
