STRAWBERRY GELATO (ITALIAN STYLE)



Strawberry Gelato (Italian Style) image

This recipe is very close to a true Italian gelato. Gelato is more dense than American ice cream because the churning and freezing process differs from the one used for ice cream. Most electric ice cream machines will produce a very good gelato. This recipe requires about 1 to 2 hours refrigeration time to chill the cooked base before processing in your machine. Cook time = the cooking time for the custard base. The freezing/processing time for your ice cream machine is not included in the Prep/Cook times below.

Time 45m

Yield 6

400 g (14 oz) of ripe strawberries
150 g (3/4 cup) of granulated sugar
250 ml (1 cup) of heavy cream
250 ml (1 cup) of whole milk

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stalk and any damaged or unripe parts. Cut the strawberry into pieces and put them in a blender or in the container of an immersion blender and blend the strawberries well, until you have a smooth puree. Check that no large chunks remain.
  • Pour the strawberry puree into a bowl and add the sugar. Then add the heavy cream and finally the whole milk. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture into the basket of the ice cream maker, close and start it. After about 40 minutes (the time may vary depending on the model of the machine) your strawberry gelato will be ready!
  • Follow carefully the above one and two steps, then pour the strawberry mixture into a gelato container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it cool for about 1/2 an hour. Then transfer in the freezer and let it freeze for about 5 hours. EVERY 30 MINUTES you have to break the frozen surface. So remove from the freezer and mix for about 30 seconds using a hand whisk or an electric whisk on low speed.
