Strawberry Gelato (Italian Style) image

This recipe is very close to a true Italian gelato. Gelato is more dense than American ice cream because the churning and freezing process differs from the one used for ice cream. Most electric ice cream machines will produce a very good gelato. This recipe requires about 1 to 2 hours refrigeration time to chill the cooked base before processing in your machine. Cook time = the cooking time for the custard base. The freezing/processing time for your ice cream machine is not included in the Prep/Cook times below.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this gelato with sugar-free sweetener and low-carb milk. It turned out surprisingly good! I'm definitely going to make it again.

I'm a vegan, so I made this gelato with almond milk and soy cream. It turned out really well! The flavor was just as good as the traditional version.

I'm allergic to strawberries, so I made this gelato with raspberries instead. It turned out great! The flavor was delicious and the texture was perfect.

Overall, I thought this gelato was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit grainy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This gelato is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This strawberry gelato is absolutely divine! The flavor is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and tartness. It's also incredibly creamy and smooth, thanks to the use of whole milk and cream. I highly recommend this recipe to
