Stracciatella Gelato
A super rich, no churn gelato with thin chocolate shreds in every bite.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces sweetened condensed milk (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 2 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Place a 2 quart freezer safe container into the freezer to chill while you prepare the ingredients
- Combine 20 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl
- Whip 2 3/4 cups of cold heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks have formed
- Add 1/3 of the whipped heavy cream into the sweetened milk mixture and gently fold to combine
- Repeat the process (1/3 of the whipped heavy cream at a time) until all of the ingredients have been combined
- Transfer the batter into the chilled 2 quart container, cover tightly with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for 2 hours
- Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chunks
- Drizzle 1/3 of the melted dark chocolate over the partially frozen gelato and let it sit undisturbed until the melted chocolate has frozen
- Break the chocolate up and stir it down into the gelato
- Repeat the process until all of the chocolate has been incorporated into the gelato
- Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap and return to the freezer
- Freeze the gelato for an additional 4 hours (stirring a few times over the 4 hours to bring the frozen parts into the center to help the gelato freeze consistently)
- Serve chilled
- Store in the freezer, tightly covered with plastic wrap
