Biscotto Ingredients

Method

Gelati Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

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

  2. 2

    Mix Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.

  3. 3

    Combine and Thicken

    Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Add Flavoring

    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

  5. 5

    Churn

    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.

  6. 6

    Freeze

    Transfer the gelato to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

    Prepare Fruit

    Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. Place in a blender or food processor.

  2. 8

    Make Simple Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool.

  3. 9

    Blend Ingredients

    Add the cooled simple syrup and lemon juice to the blender with the fruit. Blend until smooth.

  4. 10

    Chill Mixture

    Pour the mixture into a lidded container and freeze for about 2-3 hours, or until partially frozen.

  5. 11

    Scrape and Freeze

    Stir the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals, then return to the freezer until fully frozen, about 2 more hours.

Biscotto Directions

  1. 12

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 13

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 14

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. 15

    Add Eggs and Extracts

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the almond extract and mix well.

  5. 16

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped almonds.

  6. 17

    Shape and Bake

    Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden.

  7. 18

    Slice and Toast

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick pieces and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, until crisp.

  8. 19

    Cool and Store

    Allow biscotti to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
