Coffee Gelato Recipe

Category: Desserts
Servings: 4


Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Coffee 100g
Heavy Cream (Fresh Liquid) 125g
Whole Milk 75g
Glucose 60g
Sugar 45g

Instructions:

  1. Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing the coffee. You’ll need 100g of coffee, which can be either freshly brewed or prepared according to your preference.

  2. Prepare the Sugar and Glucose Mixture: In a small saucepan, pour the whole milk (75g) and add the sugar (45g) and glucose (60g). Heat over low flame, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture in the final gelato.

  3. Mixing: Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Transfer the milk mixture to a jug, and add the freshly brewed coffee. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. Chill the Mixture: Pour the combined coffee and milk mixture into a container, and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will allow the base to cool down before churning.

  5. Churning in the Ice Cream Maker: Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the gelato reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

  6. Freezing for Firmness: After churning, transfer the gelato into a shallow dish. Cover it with plastic wrap and return it to the freezer for at least 2 hours. This step will make the gelato firmer and more scoopable, while still maintaining its creamy texture.

    • Optional: If you prefer a softer texture, you can skip this step and serve the gelato immediately after churning.
  7. Serving: Once the gelato has firmed up in the freezer, use an ice cream scoop to serve it into individual bowls or cups. Decorate with chocolate shavings or any toppings of your choice for an added touch of indulgence.

  8. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade, creamy coffee gelato!


Pro Tip: If you prefer to make the gelato a bit more decadent, you can add chocolate chips or a drizzle of espresso syrup before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
