]]> My husband and I are so fortunate to have had our big mango tree in our front yard since buying our house in 2010. There was a year where the mango tree along with our avocado tree didn’t bear any fruit. It was sad, especially being that we enjoy both the mangoes and avocados so much. My neighbor advised me to drive three rusty nails into each. You could imagine the skepticism with which I took this advise but I knew better than to question it, being that she had much experience with plants and trees.
So I gave it a go, drove three rusty nails into each tree along with fertilizing them and our other fruit bearing plants every 14 days for a whole year. A year later, both our trees are bursting with their fruits! The first of the mangoes that have fallen were used to make this oh so creamy and tropical tasting mango gelato. I hope you enjoy some soon!

]]> The second ice cream recipe I made with my new and awesome Breville Ice Cream Machine my husband got me for my birthday is this delectable chocolate-hazelnut gelato. I’ve been a big fan of hazelnuts since my aunt Violeta, may she rest in peace, introduced me to them and a whole world of different nuts when I was four years old. I knew just the place to go to at her house where I’d always find a basket full of nuts with a metal nut cracker sitting on top. She must’ve had the patience of a saint to teach me how to use a nutcracker at that age. The great memories are what remains of that introduction to nuts. Cue nearly thirty years later and I’ve rediscovered hazelnuts in a whole new light…roasting them. Roasted hazelnuts, to me, outshine every other roasted nut out there. The unlocked dense flavor post roasting is much more intense. Put it in a smooth gelato with Nutella and you’ve got a Nutella + hazelnutty heaven in your mouth. Please allow the base mixture to cool completely or else you’ll be waiting a lot longer than the usual for your gelato to be ready. Also, always check with the manufacturer’s manual of your specific ice cream machine/maker. Either way this is an AMAZING recipe that is sure to melt in your mouth and melt your heart!  This roasted hazelnut gelato is truly the best I have ever had and I have had gelato at a lot of top-notch gelato places.
