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.

Overall, this is a good recipe for strawberry gelato. It's easy to make and the flavor is great. I would just make a few adjustments to the sweetness and freezing time.

I had some trouble getting the gelato to churn in my ice cream maker. I ended up having to freeze it for a few hours before I could churn it.

This gelato is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by half.

This gelato was a bit too icy for my taste. I would recommend using a blender instead of a food processor to make the strawberry puree.

This gelato is a bit icy. I think I'll try freezing it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this gelato was to make. I didn't have an ice cream maker, so I just froze the mixture in a loaf pan and stirred it every few hours. It turned out just as good as gelato made with an ice cream maker.
