Strawberry Gelato Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender combine the strawberries, sugar and whole milk and puree until smooth.
• Add in the heavy cream and mix just enough to combine (you do not want to whip the cream). Add in the lemon juice. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Refrigerating overnight is best because it will allow the flavor to intensify.
• Transfer the mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve at once with fresh cut strawberries, if desired, or freeze for up to one month.

Steps:

• Place first 6 ingredients in a blender; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add cream, processing just until combined. Remove to a bowl; stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 4 hours., Fill cylinder of ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate any remaining mixture until ready to freeze.), Transfer ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze until firm, 3-4 hours.

Steps:

• Take the favorite Italian combination of fresh strawberries and balsamic to the next level by drizzling some aged balsamic over strawberry gelato. If you don¿t have any on hand, you can make your own balsamic syrup: Bring 2 cups balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced to 1 cup and coats the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone non-stick mat that is larger than the tray to prevent juice from spilling onto the tray.
• Combine strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl; toss gently to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet, scraping down the bowl with a spatula to ensure all the liquid is included.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer cooled strawberries and all juice to the bowl of a food processor. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cream; mix until smooth.
• Pour strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the creamy texture of a gelato, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the milk and the cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil for about 4 minutes, then remove from the heat.
• Puree the strawberries and stir into the milk mixture. Set the mixture aside to cool.
• Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar together until creamy.
• Stir the cooled strawberry mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Cook in the top of a double boiler for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 3 hours. Stir the gelato vigorously or process in a food processor, and return it to the freezer for another 3 hours. Alternately, an ice cream maker can be used for this step, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan heat sugar and water over high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool syrup.

Steps:

• Place a 1-quart container and one smaller container - for any extra gelato - in the freezer. Combine the strawberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the strawberries thaw and become very soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, and transfer half the mixture to a blender. Since the mixture is hot, just cover the top of the blender jar with a dish towel pulled down tight. Blend until smooth, and then add half the milk. Blend again until smooth. Repeat with the remaining strawberries and milk. Transfer to a bowl, and chill in the refrigerator.
• Stir in the lemon juice and salt, and transfer to the container of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Scrape into the chilled container, and return to the freezer for at least two hours before serving. If frozen solid, allow to soften in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
