1
Combine Milk and Cream
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Place over medium heat and warm until just hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
2
Mix Cocoa and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3
Combine Mixtures
Once the milk and cream mixture is hot, gradually whisk in the cocoa-sugar mixture until fully dissolved. Continue to heat for 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly.
4
Add Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

5
Melt Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cocoa mixture over the chocolate, allowing it to sit for 2-3 minutes to soften.
6
Stir Mixture
Using a whisk or spatula, stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated into the cocoa base.

7
Chill Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chocolate gelato mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
8
Churn 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.
9
Freeze Gelato
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
