  2. Flavour

    Add 40 g cocoa powder, 160 g nutella.

  3. Mix

    Mix for 2 minutes at most, until the flavouring has fully dissolved. No colouring.

  4. Machine

    Pour into the gelato machine (batch freezer). About 20 minutes, depending on the machine.

  5. Store

    Label with flavour, date and batch. Store at −22 °C, serve in the display at about −15 °C.

Tip

Mix until the cocoa powder has fully dissolved: small lumps would be felt in the gelato.
