Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 400 ml whole milk
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 200 g fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or mango) optional
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Ice cream maker (or a suitable container if no ice cream maker)
  • Medium saucepan
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and granulated sugar.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the whole milk, heavy cream, and salt until just simmering, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour the warm milk mixture over the chocolate and sugar, whisking until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. In a small separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a ladleful of the warm chocolate mixture to the yolks while whisking to temper them, then return the yolk mixture to the saucepan.
  5. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 4-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow the mix to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  7. Once cooled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, place the mixture in a suitable container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours until solid.
  8. To serve, scoop the gelato-style ice cream into bowls. Top with a generous dollop of fruit jam and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Notes

For those looking to lighten it up, consider using a lower-fat milk or sugar substitute.
The gelato can also be made a day in advance for effortless entertaining.
Don’t hesitate to mix and match with other fruit jams or fresh fruits based on the season; your creativity is the key to making this recipe your own.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer, and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for the best texture.
Enjoy your sweet creation!
