Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 2 cups vanilla gelato or ice cream
• 8 hazelnut chocolates, such as Baci, coarsely chopped
• 12 slices bread with dried fruits and nuts
• 0.5 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread

Preparation:

1. Place the ice cream in a bowl and let it soften slightly. Stir in the chopped candies with a silicone spatula. Cover and freeze for 40 minutes until the ice cream hardens.
2. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the bread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Spread chocolate-hazelnut spread on each slice.
3. Spoon 1/3 cup ice cream between 6 sandwiches. Top with the remaining sandwich slices. Serve immediately or freeze for up to 5 hours before serving.
