How to Make Lip Zmakk In Gypsy Gelato

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of marzipan (finely chopped) and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. In a separate saucepan, gently simmer 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup half-and-half. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the marzipan mixture while continuously beating with the electric mixer. Pour everything back into the saucepan.
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil!
  6. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Allow to cool completely.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  8. Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This may take 20-30 minutes.
  9. When the ice cream is almost frozen (but still slightly soft), add 1/2 cup crushed Amaretto biscotti and 1/2 cup toasted, chopped almonds. Let the ice cream maker incorporate them.
  10. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crushed Amaretto biscotti and 1/2 cup toasted, chopped almonds on top, along with 1 cup fresh raspberries and 1 cup fresh strawberries. Gently press the fruit into the surface.
  11. Freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer consistency, or serve immediately for a softer texture. Serve with thin almond wafers.
