HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY GELATO WITH ICE CREAM MAKER
- To make strawberry gelato at home, start by washing and drying the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stalk and, if present, any damaged or unripe parts.
- Cut the strawberry into pieces and put them in a blender or in the container of an immersion blender and blend the strawberries well, until you have a smooth puree. Check that no large chunks remain.
- Pour the strawberry puree into a bowl and add the sugar.
- Add the heavy cream and finally the whole milk. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- At this step, pour the mixture into the basket of the ice cream maker, close and start it. After about 40 minutes (the time may vary depending on the model of the machine) your strawberry gelato will be ready! Sweet, fresh and creamy. You just have to taste it!

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY GELATO WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER
- Follow carefully the above steps, from 1 to 4, then pour the strawberry mixture into a gelato container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it cool for about ½ an hour.
- Then transfer in the freezer and let it freeze for about 5 hours.
- EVERY 30 MINUTES you have to break the frozen surface. So remove from the freezer and mix for about 30 seconds using a hand whisk or an electric whisk on low speed. This step is necessary in order not to create ice crystals in the gelato and have a creamy result.
Notes
- PLEASE NOTE: The best ice cream maker you can find on the market is the one with a compressor that cools while churning the gelato. This ice cream maker is very similar to the professional ones and is the one we used for this recipe.
