Ingredients
2cups (500 ml) whole milk
1cup (250 ml) heavy cream
1/2cup (100 g) granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
1tsp pure vanilla extract
3.5oz (100 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped or shaved
Instructions
Prepare the Gelato Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it come to a boil.
Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick.
Temper the Eggs: Slowly add a ladleful of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture while constantly whisking to avoid curdling the eggs.
Combine Mixture: Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon (around 170°F or 77°C). This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Cool the Base: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
Churn the Gelato: Once chilled, pour the base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Add the Stracciatella Effect: When the gelato is almost done churning, slowly drizzle the melted chocolate into the gelato while the machine is running. The chocolate will harden and break into thin flakes.
Freeze the Gelato: Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to set.
