Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups of cold milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

02

Step

While the milk heats, in a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, 1/4 cup of cold milk, cornstarch, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth. Once the milk is boiling, whisk this mixture into the hot milk and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 3 minutes, continuing to whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes very thick. Remove from heat.

03

Step

Place the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate into a large bowl.

04

Step

In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 1/2 cup of cold milk to a simmer over medium heat. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and let it stand for about 1 minute to allow the chocolate to melt. Gently whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

05

Step

Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the cornstarch-milk mixture until well combined. Then, for the smoothest texture, pour the entire mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. Cover the surface directly with wax paper or plastic wrap to prevent skin formation. Chill in the refrigerator until thoroughly cold, at least 1 1/2 hours.

06

Step

Once chilled, pour the mixture into your gelato or ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 15-20 minutes. Once frozen to a gelato consistency, transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer if not serving immediately.

For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still achieve a similar texture by pouring the chilled mixture into a freezer-safe container and stirring it every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours of freezing to break up ice crystals.
Serve with a dollop of homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh berries for an elegant presentation.

    The key is to really chill the mixture well before putting it in the ice cream maker. I didn't wait long enough the first time, and it didn't freeze properly.

  • Cedrick Bins

    Absolutely delicious! My family devoured it in minutes. The texture was perfect.

    I was skeptical about making gelato without eggs, but this recipe proved me wrong. It's so easy and tastes amazing!
