Espresso Gelato
For an extra jolt, add some dark
chocolate-covered espresso beans toward
the end of freezing.
Makes about 4 cups (eight ½-cup servings)
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups whole milk, divided
1 cup brewed espresso
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
pinch sea or kosher salt
1 tablespoon liquid pectin
1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream
and 1½ cups of the milk. Set over
medium/medium-low heat and bring to a
simmer.
2. While cream/milk mixture is heating, put
the remaining milk, espresso, sugar,
cornstarch and salt into a small/medium
mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
3. Once milk/cream mixture comes to a
simmer, add the milk/sugar mixture and
stir until fully combined. While still set
over medium/medium-low heat, stir
continuously until mixture boils and
thickens so that it can coat the back of a
spoon (this will take about 15 minutes,
depending on the stove being used).
4. Remove pan from heat, stir in pectin,
strain and cool to room temperature.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. Whisk mixture together again before
pouring into the ice cream maker. Pour
the mixture into the mixing bowl of the
Cuisinart
®
Ice Cream Maker. Mix until
thickened, about 30 minutes. The gelato
will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer
consistency is desired, transfer to an
airtight container and place in freezer for
about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about
15 minutes before serving.
