Gelato Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
Make the Chocolate Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Add Cocoa and Chocolate
Whisk in the cocoa powder until fully dissolved, then add the bittersweet chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
Temper the Egg Yolks
Slowly pour the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Cook the Mixture
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Chill the Mixture
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
Churn the Gelato
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.
Freeze the Gelato
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
