How to Make Gelato Alla Fragola Strawberry Gelato

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. While the sugar syrup cools, combine 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, with 1/4 cup of water in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, and 1/4 cup of sugar until just combined.
  4. Gently pour the cooled sugar syrup into the cream mixture, whisking constantly. Add the strawberry puree and mix well.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a container to remove any seeds or lumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  7. Transfer the churned gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further before serving.
