Gelato

Chocolate Shell

Method

Gelato Preparation

  1. 1

    Layering the Gelato

    In a medium bowl, layer 2 cups of chocolate gelato, followed by 2 cups of cherry gelato, and finally 2 cups of pistachio gelato. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.

  2. 2

    Freezing the Gelato

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the gelato is firm.

Chocolate Shell Preparation

  1. 3

    Melting the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

  2. 4

    Creating the Shell

    Take the frozen gelato out of the freezer. Quickly pour the melted chocolate over the gelato in a thin, even layer, ensuring it completely covers the top and sides. Use a spatula to smooth it out if necessary.

  3. 5

    Setting the Shell

    Return the gelato to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden.
