Chocolate Gelato

Chocolate Gelato

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 3 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • egg yolks, beaten lightly

In a heavy saucepan cook 1/4 cup sugar, undisturbed, over moderate heat until it begins to melt and cook, stirring with fork, until melted completely and deep golden brown. Remove pan from heat and dip pan briefly into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. (Caramel will harden). Cool pan about 5 minutes and return to heat. Add milk and cook over moderate heat, whisking until caramel is melted. Whisk in cocoa until combined well and keep mixture warm.

In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring, and remove from heat. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat egg yolks with remaining 3/4 cup sugar until thick and pale. Whisk in caramel mixture and chocolate in streams, whisking until combined. Pour custard into another 3 quart heavy saucepan and cook over moderately low heat until a candy thermometer registers 140 F. Cook custard stirring (do not let it boil), 4 minutes more and remove from heat. Cool custard completely and freeze in an ice cream maker.

I do have one, but it is in Danish on the "mad" pages:

* 2.5dl milk
* 75g caster sugar
* 2 egg yolks
* 1 vanilla pod
* Mint essence

Heat the milk with the split vanilla pod - the milk must not boil. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Remove the vanilla pod and pour the milk over the eggs while wipping. Heat the mixture over a water bath untill it become creamy. Add 35 drops of minth essence and let it cool off before pouring everything into an ice creame machine.

If you would like to make your own essence, we'll do it like this: Chop 2 dl of fresh mint leaves and heat slowly with 2dl water and 2 spoons of caster sugar. Boil untill only 2-3 table spoons remaining.
