Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:
   Begin by pouring the whole milk into a saucepan and adding the sugar. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely. Once the mixture is smooth, remove from heat.

2. Add the Hazelnut Paste and Cream:
   Stir in the hazelnut paste until fully incorporated. Next, add the fresh cream, mixing well until the texture is smooth and velvety.

3. Blend the Mixture:
   Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until fully combined and slightly frothy.

4. Chill the Mixture:
   Pour the blended mixture into a large container and place it in the freezer. Let it chill for about 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to firm up slightly.

5. Churn the Gelato:
   After the 30 minutes, pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn the gelato according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency.

6. Freeze for Final Texture:
   Transfer the gelato into a shallow dish or serving container. Cover and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours, allowing it to firm up further.

7. Serve & Garnish:
   Once the gelato has reached the perfect consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts for added crunch and flavor.
