Basic Gelato
1 Pint
2 Hours, 30 Minutes
Easy
This is your starting point for gelato at home. This basic gelato base comes together simply, then churns into a soft, dense scoop in the InstantChill™ Ice Cream Maker. Add in additional flavors and toppings to make it your own!
INSTRUCTIONS
- Whisk the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with ½ cup of the whole milk in a small bowl until completely smooth.
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cornstarch slurry, remaining milk, heavy whipping cream, and a pinch of salt. Heat until gently simmering.
- Cook and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not overcook.
- Remove from heat. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture and refrigerate for 2 hours until completely cold.
- Pour the chilled base into the InstantChill™ Mixing Bowl. Use the Gelato program, set to 22 minutes.
- Enjoy immediately for a soft gelato, or freeze in an airtight container for 1-2 hours for a firmer scoop.
