Basic Vanilla Gelato; Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato - Cuisinart ICE-100 Instruction Booklet

GELATI
* Our basic gelato recipe uses both cornstarch and liquid pectin for the creamiest
consistency. Pectin is found in most grocery stores commonly near the gelatin and
pudding section.

Basic Vanilla Gelato

Drizzle in melted chocolate for a decadent stracciatela gelato.
Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups whole milk, divided
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
pinch sea or kosher salt
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon liquid pectin
1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream and 2 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,
sugar, cornstarch, salt and vanilla 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, continuously stir until mixture boils
and thickens to where 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 a minimum of at least 2
hours, or overnight. Whisk mixture together again before
pouring into the ice cream maker.
5. Pour the mixture into the mixing bowl of the Cuisinart® Ice
Cream and Gelato Maker fitted with the gelato paddle. Turn
unit on, set Timer and press Start. Let mix until thickened,
about 40 to 50 minutes. The gelato will have a soft, creamy
texture. Serve or store in airtight container in freezer.
