HOW TO MAKE FIOR DI LATTE GELATO WITH ICE CREAM MAKER
    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour the sugar, milk and heavy cream into a thick-bottomed saucepan. Mix everything and cook over low heat, NEVER BOILING, for about 5 minutes until all the sugar is well dissolved. Take care to remove the saucepan from the heat or to lower the heat if you see that is starting to boil.
  2. Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a stainless steel bowl with lid. Let cool in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
  3. After this time, pour the mixture into the ice cream maker. Start up the machine following the manufacturer's instructions. Usually you have to let the ice cream maker work for about 30/40 minutes.
  4. Fior di latte gelato now is ready! Enjoy it immediately because freshly made gelato is terrific!
HOW TO MAKE FIOR DI LATTE GELATO WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER
  1. Place the sugar in a saucepan and add the milk. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a stainless steel bowl with lid. Let cool in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
  3. Meantime whip the cream with the help of a stand mixer or an electric whisk.
  4. Then add the sugar/milk mixture that has cooled down and stir gently from bottom to top to combine.
  5. Pour the mixture into a gelato container and place it in the freezer 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. Of course this is a bit more laborious process, but it's worth it!

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.
