Ingredients for the Best Strawberry Gelato
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delightful dessert:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions to Create This Delight
Now let’s get to the good part – how to make this delicious gelato!
- Start by placing your sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle them with 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to release their juices. You can even mash them a little if you want a more intense flavor.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, heavy cream, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whisk it all together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Once your strawberries are ready, blend them with the milk mixture until smooth. You can choose to strain it if you prefer a silkier texture, but I love the little bits of strawberries in mine!
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Once it’s done churning, transfer your gelato to an airtight container and pop it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to firm up further.
And there you have it! Once it’s nice and set, scoop it into bowls and enjoy this refreshing strawberry gelato. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or just indulging all by yourself. You won’t regret it!
