Gelato Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Lemon Gelato Base

    In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Dairy

    Add heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the lemon mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it's completely chilled.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Gelato

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

  6. 6

    Prepare the Limoncello Swirl

    Once the gelato is firm, take it out of the freezer and let it soften slightly. Swirl in the Limoncello gently with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Scoop the Limoncello gelato into flute glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a lemon slice.
