Gelato Ingredients

Method

Gelato Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Blend in Cherries

    Chop the Amarena cherries roughly and add them, along with the cherry juice, to the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.

  4. 4

    Churn the Gelato

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Gelato

    Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
