ESPRESSO GELATO
For an extra jolt, add some dark chocolate covered espresso beans
toward the end of freezing.
Makes about 4 cups (1 L) [eight ½-cup (125 ml) servings]
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
2 cups (500 ml) whole milk, divided
1 cup (250 ml) brewed espresso
1 cup (250 ml) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) cornstarch
pinch sea or kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 ml) liquid pectin
1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream and 1½ cups (375
ml) 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 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
®

about 40 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.
