I’m back in Athens after several days of vacation in the very green and beautiful Greek island of Euboea (Εύβοια) where we had an amazing time. Those of you who follow me on instagram already got a glimpse of what it was like.
I plan to share more in the future, perhaps when I get back to the Netherlands, but for the time being and since it’s still very hot here in Athens, I thought I’d share with you a recipe for ice cream.
Not just any ice cream though, but a mascarpone and nutella ice cream with hazelnut praline. I know I don’t need to say much in order to tempt you to try it and I’m pretty sure you who are lovers of hazelnut praline are already on your way to making this, but let me just say that if you’re in the mood for a scoop of fresh, homemade, light and smooth ice cream, look no further.
The mascarpone gives a rich texture, the nutella its sweet and unique flavor and the hazelnut praline adds crunch as well as depth of flavor to the velvety ice cream. And you can use homemade nutella for an even better result!
Enjoy and see you soon.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, don't fret. Below, I'm including instructions on how to make the ice cream without it.
