Cómo preparar Creme De Menthe Gelato
- Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of crème de menthe liqueur.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
- Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly whisking in 1 cup of the warm milk mixture. Once combined, pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for approximately 20 minutes, ensuring the mixture does not boil. The custard will thicken slightly.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a freezer-safe container. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream.
- Place the container in the ice bath to cool completely.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
- Cover the surface of the chilled custard with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Then, secure the lid on the container.
- Freeze for 2 hours. Then, remove from the freezer and whisk with an immersion blender to break up any ice crystals that have formed.
- Return to the freezer for another 2 hours. Repeat steps 11 and 12 two more times for a super smooth texture.
- (Optional) For Mint Chocolate Chip Gelato: Gently fold in 2/3 cup of chocolate chips after the third freezing and blending.
- Once the gelato has reached your desired consistency, freeze for a final 2 hours to allow it to fully set.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or shaved chocolate before serving and enjoy!
