How to Make Mocha Chip Gelato Amazing Ice Cream Machine

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  2. In a small heavy saucepan, whisk together 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules.
  4. Whisk the cornstarch mixture again and add it to the coffee mixture. Return to a boil, whisking continuously for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  6. Add 1.5 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and stir until melted and combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into a metal bowl. Place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water and stir frequently until the mixture is completely cool.
  8. Pour the cooled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  9. When the gelato is almost frozen, add the remaining 0.5 ounces of chopped chocolate and continue churning until fully incorporated.
  10. Serve immediately, or freeze for a firmer consistency. Garnish with slivered almonds (optional).
