Eggless Gelato Recipes

Gelato is an ancient Italian frozen ice cream treat that is taking the country by storm. Gelato shops are popping up all over the place. Don’t have one near you? No problem, you can make your own at home in your vegetarian kitchen. Ours is made with whole milk and cornstarch to provide its signature silky texture.

Egg Free means no salmonella poisoning possible.

Exquisite Eggless Chocolate Gelato

For our exquisite Chocolate Gelato you will find that its exceptional flavor comes from the excellent organic chocolate. Sorry, cheaper chocolate just won’t give you the same result. In your vegetarian kitchen you will find that the quality of the ingredients that go into a product determines the result. Or as my Dad would say, you can skimp anywhere in the budget that you like– but not on the table! That is where the family’s health originates.

You will need an electric Ice Cream Maker

3 Cups Organic Whole Milk
¼ Cup Organic Sugar
3 Tbs. Corn Starch
1 tsp Frontier Herb Co. Alcohol Free Organic Vanilla Extract
⅛ tsp. Sea Salt
8 ounces finely chopped Bittersweet Organic Chocolate Bar: Green and Black’s, Newman’s Own, Dagoba, Rapunzel, or use Sunspire Chocolate Chips. The Chocolate bar needs to be a sweetened variety.

Chop the chocolate bars. Place the chocolate bits along with 1/2 cup milk in a double boiler over moderate heat. Whisk until smooth. Reserve

In a 4-quart heavy stainless steel saucepan bring 2 1/4 cups milk to a boil.
While milk is heating, whisk together sugar, salt, cornstarch and 1/4 cup (cold) milk in a bowl until smooth, then whisk it into the boiling milk. Bring it back up to temperature stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook for a full three minutes until the mixture is very thick. Remove from heat.

Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the cornstarch-milk mixture stirring constantly. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool slightly, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming. Cover surface with wax paper and chill until cold, at least 1 1/2 hours.

Once cold, place the mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s directions.

Allow the Gelato to soften a few minutes before serving.

Variations on the Theme:
