Instructions
To prepare the Stracciatella Gelato, start by making the base of the gelato following a simple panna (cream) gelato recipe. You can refer to a step-by-step video guide to make the cream base, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture.
Once the cream mixture is ready and placed in your ice cream maker, chop the dark chocolate finely with a sharp knife. Keep the chopped chocolate aside for later use.
As the gelato is churning in the machine, slowly add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the mixture. This will create the signature chocolate “stracciatella” shreds throughout the creamy base, adding a delightful texture and rich flavor.
After the gelato is fully churned and the chocolate is evenly incorporated, transfer it into a container and place it in the freezer to firm up for at least 4 hours.
Serve your homemade Stracciatella Gelato with an extra drizzle of chocolate if desired and enjoy the perfect balance of smooth cream and crunchy chocolate!
