Method

Gelato Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Gelato Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, guava puree, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is cold.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Freeze the Gelato

    Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours until firm.

Guava Shells in Syrup Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine water and sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 6

    Add Guava Shells

    Add the guava shells and lemon juice to the syrup. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the guavas are tender and the syrup thickens slightly.

    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

    Crush the Cookies

    In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 50 ml of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
