Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups of milk to a simmer.

  • Then, turn off heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
  • In another bowl, whisk remaining cup milk with sugar, cocoa powder and cornstarch.

  • Add the cocoa mixture slowly, whisking to incorporate.
  • Cook until edges bubble and then a minute longer until mixture is slightly thickened.
  • Strain through a fine wire mesh strainer.
  • Cover with plastic and let sit cool in the fridge overnight or put over a bowl of ice to cool.
  • Once cooled, freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your gelato. Use the best chocolate and mint extract you can find.
  • Don't overmix the gelato base: Overmixing will incorporate too much air into the gelato, which will make it icy. Mix the base just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the gelato base thoroughly before churning: This will help the gelato to churn more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the gelato according to your ice cream maker's instructions: Different ice cream makers have different churning times. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that your gelato is properly churned.
  • Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the gelato to firm up and develop its full flavor.
