Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let them cool slightly.
Once cooled, place hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove most of the skins.
In a food processor, blend the skinned hazelnuts until they become a smooth paste, approximately 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, and water over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture starts to steam. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the hazelnut paste and vanilla extract, stirring to fully incorporate.
Let the mixture cool at room temperature then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it's thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve scooped in bowls or cones and enjoy your soy-free hazelnut ice cream.
