I hate to open the whole ice-cream flavours can of worms again but just wondered what the consensus was on a translation of gianduia as an ice-cream flavour. I'm toying between leaving it as gianduia, or perhaps making it praline. I also considered hazelnut but that would seem to be more appropriate for nocciola.
Given the sunny weather we're having in the UK this week all talk of ice-cream seems like a good idea :-)
Thanks in advance!!

Selected
hazelnut chocolate
Or chocolate and hazelnut.
Nicoleta is right that it's called gianduia (that's the more common spelling), but I don't think anyone outside the chocolate industry will know what that means.

: Yes, I've seen the original term being used in English-speaking countries. I prefer this answer, since for "hazelnut chocolate" people generally tend to think about hazelnut "bits" in the chocolate. In my opinion, Gianduja is the best option. :)

: I agree with Gianduja. This is now very common in UK chocolate shops and would be widely understood. Also sounds tasty.
