Gelato Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them in half. Place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Strawberries

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the sliced strawberries and toss gently. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to macerate and release their juices.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    In a blender, combine the macerated strawberries (along with their juices), remaining sugar (2 tablespoons), whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Cover it and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled.

  5. 5

    Churn the Gelato

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  6. 6

    Freeze the Gelato

    Transfer the churned gelato to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Scoop the gelato into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade strawberry gelato!
