Gelato Base and Swirl

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Gelato Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coffee Swirl

    In a small saucepan, combine the strong brewed coffee and cocoa powder over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Swirl the Mixtures

    In a large container, layer half of the gelato base, followed by half of the coffee swirl. Repeat the layers. Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.

  4. 4

    Freeze

    Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
