FROZEN MOCHA WITH CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PRALINES

Steps:

• Prepare an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Whisk together the espresso, chocolate syrup, half-and-half and cream in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour into the ice cream maker and churn until the mixture is thickened with a slushy consistency, about 25 minutes, depending on your machine.
• Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Put the sugar in a medium saucepan and add enough water to reach the consistency of wet sand, about 1/4 cup. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, swirling gently so it cooks evenly, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is dark golden-brown like maple syrup, about 5 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, stir in the hazelnuts, salt and vanilla. Immediately transfer to the prepared baking sheet spreading into a thin, even layer. Let cool completely and break into large pieces (see Cook's Note).
• Put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes total. Using 2 forks, dip the cooled praline pieces in the chocolate and return to the baking sheet until the chocolate is set.
