How To Make Vaffanculo Gelato

First of all, yes, that's a naughty word, so don't go looking it up if you aren't planning to use it.  Second, I invented this when I couldn't read the recipe and put in too much chocolate.  I'm sure that in theory, there is a point where you can put in too much chocolate, but this is not I repeat NOT too much chocolate.  Trust me.  

And finally, you may be wondering how this gelato got its name.  Well, on the one hand, it was a concoction born  out of a mistake.  Dirtbunny is so spectacularly good in the kitchen that even her mistakes are freaking awesome, so vaffanculo to the doubters and the haters.  Second, this is exactly the kind of gelato you will want to have on days when you'd like to say vaffanculo to everyone you know and the other 6 billion people in the world as well, just to make sure everything's covered.

1. Get out favorite recipe for Bacio gelato.
2. Leave out the hazelnuts.
3. Triple the amount of cocoa powder.  You can only mix so much in with the egg yolks, so the rest has to go in the pot in the beginning with the sugar and milk.
4. Finish making the custard, then cool, and freeze in the usual way.
5. Serve kinda soft and slightly melty.

Don't share this with the dogs.  It's so powerful it might kill them.
