Gelato Cones

Method

Gelato Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Whisk in Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the hot milk mixture to temper the yolks. Once mixed, pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture.

  3. 3

    Thicken the Mixture

    Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flavor the Gelato

    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Divide the mixture into four bowls.

  5. 5

    Add Flavors

    In the first bowl, add the cocoa powder for chocolate gelato. In the second bowl, add the pureed strawberries for strawberry gelato. In the third bowl, mix in the chopped pistachios for pistachio gelato. The fourth bowl will remain vanilla.

  6. 6

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover each bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

  7. 7

    Churn the Gelato

    Once chilled, churn each flavor in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  8. 8

    Freeze Gelato

    Transfer each flavor of gelato into an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 2-4 hours.

Chocolate Dipping

  1. 9

    Melt Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

Assembly

  1. 10

    Fill Cones

    Take the mini ice cream cones and fill each with a scoop of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and pistachio gelato, alternating flavors as desired.

  2. 11

    Dip in Chocolate

    Dip the top of each filled cone into the melted chocolate mixture, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.

  3. 12

    Set the Dipped Cones

    Place the dipped cones upright in a cup or cone holder to allow the chocolate to set. You can refrigerate for faster setting.
