COFFEE GELATO

SICILIAN COFFEE GELATO

Steps:

• Soak ground coffee in boiling water for 10 minutes, then strain using coffee filter or a very fine screen.
• On medium to medium low heat 2 cups of milk, sugar and salt until steaming but boiling.
• Mix 1/2 cup milk with corn starch, no lumps.
• Pour milk & corn starch and coffee into into pan of hot milk. Stirring often. Keep on low heat and stir constantly until thicken. You want it thickened but you don't want to over cook it because the corn starch will break down and get runny.
• Once thickened, stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
• Pour into bowl and cool in refrigerator or freezer (cover with wrap to prevent skin forming on top).
• When mixture is completely cold, pour into your ice cream machine and churn per machine instructions. Add optional cookies in the last 5 minutes of churn time. I have a cuisinart and it took about 25 minutes to make.
• Put into freezer safe container with lid and store in freezer.

WHITE COFFEE GELATO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and salt until smooth and combined. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat. When small bubbles start forming around the edge, slowly pour half of the warm milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk the warm egg mixture back into the remaining hot milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula and being sure to scrape the bottom of the pan, for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened and the mixture coats the spatula. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and cream. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours. Once cold, stir in the coffee beans and replace the plastic wrap on the surface. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
• Prepare the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer¿s instructions. Strain the coffee beans from the gelato base. Pour the base into the prepared ice cream maker and freeze until it is the texture of soft-serve ice cream, about 10 minutes. Remove the gelato from the ice cream maker and transfer to an airtight container. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the gelato before placing the lid on the container. Place in the freezer and freeze for an additional 2 hours before serving. Serve topped with shaved chocolate.
• When people think of Vegas, they think of steaks and giant seafood platters. I consider this spaghetti a new way to define indulgence on The Strip.¿
