Stracciatella Gelato
| Serves: 4 | Cuisine: Italian | Course: Dessert | Machine: Cooking Machine | Total time (min.): 12 hours 45 |
Simple and delicious, stracciatella pairs the best quality whole milk and chocolate and is one of Italy’s classic gelato flavours. Dextrose powder helps to create the gloriously dense, smooth texture of traditional gelato, but don’t worry if you can’t find it – simply replace with the same weight of sugar. Remember to place the freezer bowl in the freezer 24 hours in advance.
