What is Gelato?
Gelato is a type of Italian ice cream that is usually made from a mixture of milk, cream, and sugar. Gelato is often served with different toppings such as chocolate, nuts, and fruits. Some people even believe that gelato was invented in Italy!
Types of Gelato
There are many types of gelato, the Italian version of ice cream. A few examples include pistachio gelato, banana gelato, and hazelnut gelato. Gelato can be made with a variety of ingredients, including milk, cream, sugar, and nuts.
Ingredients for the Basic Gelato Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
3 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, milk, sugar and salt over medium heat until just hot. Do not let it come to a boil. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolsks. Gradually pour about one-third of the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the eggs; whisk until well combined. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the ricotta cheese and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute or until melted. Pour the gelato mixture into a container or tub that will hold at least 2 cups (500 ml). Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.
Adding Initives to your Basic Gelato Recipe
To turn this basic gelato recipe into something truly special, you can add a few simple ingredients to amp up the flavor. Fresh lemon juice and zest will give your gelato a bright, tangy flavor, while a little bit of sugar will help it keep its consistency. Finally, a touch of vanilla extract will complete the Italian flavor profile.
If you want to make your gelato even more like the real thing, you can also add in some Fiorino or Marzano olives. These salty little gems pair perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar and lemon juice, giving your gelato an extra depth of flavor that will transport you right to Italy.
