White Coffee Gelato Recipes

COFFEE GELATO

Steps:

• Mix milk, cream, and sugar together in a large bowl. Refrigerate to let sugar dissolve.
• Brew the coffee grounds with water in a coffee maker or French press. Refrigerate coffee until completely cooled, at least 30 minutes.
• Beat milk mixture using an electric mixture until slightly thickened to the consistency of buttermilk. Stir coffee into milk mixture.
• Transfer milk-coffee mixture to an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions for making ice cream.

PERFECT COFFEE GELATO

Steps:

• Place a large mixing bowl with a sieve over it near the stove.
• Combine the milk and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
• Whisk the eggs and the sugar together in a medium mixing bowl.
• When the milk is simmering, pour one ladleful at a time into the eggs, whisking constantly.
• Return the milk mixture to the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Immediately pour the mixture through the sieve into the bowl, discarding any solids.
• Stir the coffee granules and vanilla extract into the warm custard until fully combined. Taste and add more coffee or extract if needed. Then cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Churn according to the directions for your ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
• Scoop and enjoy! Store in the freezer for up to 1 week.

COFFEE GELATO

Steps:

• Whisk yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Bring milk to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk hot milk into egg mixture; then whisk in espresso mixture. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 8 minutes (do not boil). Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
• Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in covered container. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)

CITRUS GELATO

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar, salt and yolks in a heavy medium stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cream. Then whisk in the milk, buttermilk and citrus zests. Using a wooden spoon, stir the custard constantly over medium heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer registers between 180 and 185 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Immediately scrape the custard into a 4-cup measuring cup; mix in the rum. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, about 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Cover until ready to freeze (can be made 1 day in advance).
• Freeze the custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
• While the custard is freezing in the ice cream machine, peel and trim the ends from the zested orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments onto a cutting board. Cut the segments into 1/2-inch pieces. During the last 10 minutes of freezing time, add the orange segments.
• Transfer to a container; cover and freeze until ready to serve.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GELATO

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until the consistency of a very grainy quick-bread batter, about 2 minutes; set aside.
• Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan set over medium heat until tiny bubbles pop up around the pan's inner rim; do not boil.
• Whisk about 1/3 of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture until smooth, then whisk this combined mixture back into the pan with the remaining hot milk mixture.
• Immediately turn down the heat to very low (if using an electric stove, move the pan to a second burner just now set on low).
• Cook slowly, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of very wet, loose cake batter and can coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any bits of scrambled eggs.
• Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• As you prepare your ice cream machine, place the white chocolate custard in the freezer to assure it is very cold, for no more than 10 minutes.
• Freeze the custard in your ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Serve at once--or transfer to a freezer container, seal tightly, and store in the freezer for no more than 3 days; soften at room temperature for up to 10 minutes before serving.
