4. 4

   Add the Nutella to the eggs and sugar and whip until creamy and well combined.

5. 5

   Temper the eggs, sugar and Nutella mixture with the hot cream.(Which means to add a little bit at a time, while mixing, to gently cook the eggs and not scramble them!)

6. 6

   Pour the mixture back in a small pot and heat gently until the ice cream base is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

7. 7

   Pour the custard into a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until cold.

8. 8

   Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
