When I was in Greece in April, I had the most delicious gelato I've ever eaten. It was very thick and very creamy and wasn't crystalled with ice at all. It was absolutely amazing! I had it in both chocolate and tiramisu flavors, both of which were superb. The gelato was even better than the stuff I've had in Italy. I need a recipe for it, please!
wet26...that's why I asked for a recipe.
It may have been the quality of the ingredients and a secret recipe that made the gelato taste so good...
Gelato is not simply the Italian word for ice cream. “A good gelato should be rich in flavor but you shouldn’t feel full after you’ve eaten even a pint of it. Trust me!” So says Adriano di Petrillo, owner of Dri Dri, the fashionable London-based gelateria. Authentic Italian gelato is made with milk rather than cream, so it’s much lighter and significantly lower in fat. Gelato is made by a process called “mantecazione,” where it is frozen and churned very slowly so it doesn’t absorb too much air. This achieves a creamy texture without the fat. Gelato is surprisingly easy to make at home with a domestic gelato maker. Try Adriano’s simple recipes for Vanilla, Coffee, Bitter Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, and Tiramisù. Also included are recipes for fresh and fruity sorbets and granitas, including Green Apple and Mixed Berries. Suggestions for delicious ways to serve your creations include Bitter Chocolate Gelato with Cherry Compote; Lemon Gelato with Brioche; and Almond Gelato drowned with hot espresso. Ideas for gelato-based drinks include Italian classics such as a Rossini (strawberry sorbet with Prosecco) and Sgroppino (lemon gelato blended with vodka or Prosecco).
The word “gelato”, in Italian, simply means “ice cream,” but its meaning has shifted to define a type of high-end frozen dessert, made with milk, not cream. Gelato also has 35 less air whipped into it than ice cream, heightening its rich mouthfeel without tipping the scales. Gelato, in all its luxury, is simple to make at home with a standard ice-cream maker.Making Artisan Gelato,a mouth-watering companion to Making Artisan Chocolates, will offer 45+ recipes and flavor variations for three exquisite frozen desserts, made from all-natural ingredients available at any grocery store or market.
