Fresh Mint Gelato
- Recipe Submitted by maryjosh on 02/20/2019
Ingredients List
- 1 C sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 C heavy cream
- 2 C whole milk
- 6 fresh mint sprigs
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
Directions
In a large heavy saucepan, stir the sugar and cornstarch together. Stir in the cream and milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
Transfer the milk mixture to a glass bowl and add the mint. Set the bowl over a bowl of ice water to cool the mixture down quickly and stir occasionally until cool; discard the mint after 5 minutes. If you leave the mint in too long the flavor will be too strong. Cover the mint cream and refrigerate about 4 hours, or until completely cold.
Freeze the mint cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until frozen.
While the milk mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate. I did it in the microwave but can also done in an double boiler. Cool until the chocolate is barely warm and still fluid.
Working quickly, drizzle the melted chocolate into the gelato while whisking or stirring vigorously. The chocolate will flake apart as it hits the cold gelato, forming bits of chocolate throughout, stir with a wooden spoon..
Serve immediately, or transfer to a container and freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
