Super simple Ferrero Rocher gelato

So I was watching a Ustream live chat with Holland Roden from Teen Wolf the other day, and she mentioned one of her favourite things was Ferrero Rocher gelato, and I fell in love instantly with the idea of making it. I fiddled with the idea in my head and struck gold. Here's a SUPER SIMPLE recipe for Ferrero Rocher gelato.

Ingredients 

2 cups heavy cream
1 (14 oz) can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
12 Fererro Rocher chocolates (individual)

Directions

1. Add vanilla to heavy cream and whip to stiff peaks in large bowl. 

2. Chop ferrero rocher into small pieces. (With food processor) 

3. Stir into condensed milk. 

4. Fold in whipped cream.

5. Pour into a 2-quart container and cover and freeze for 6 hours or until firm

4 ingredients, 5 steps. Legit that easy. No joke!

Enjoy!!

Crazy about Pretzels

Pretzels are a good ole' American favourite and a favorite of mine too. I LOVE soft pretzels, hard pretzels!! Any type of pretzel! Pretzel mania!! Here's one of my favourite recipes for soft, yeast free pretzels

Ingredients

· 1/3 cup baking soda

· 5 cups water

· 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

· 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 1 cup buttermilk

· 1/4 cup honey

· 2 tablespoons kosher salt, for topping

Directions

1. In a non-aluminum stock pot, dissolve 1/3 cup baking soda in 5 cups water. Bring water to a boil, and then remove from heat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and baking soda. Stir in buttermilk and honey until dough pulls together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly to form a firm dough.

3. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a cylinder approximately 12 inches long. Form into classic pretzel shape. Pinch ends to seal. Dip pretzels in baking soda solution and then place on lightly greased cookie sheets.

4. Sprinkle pretzels with kosher salt, and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
