Ingredients

  • 14 oz condensed milk (397g)
  • 2.5 cups heavy cream double cream (600ml)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate roughly chopped (100g)

Instructions

  • Put the heavy cream, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until really thick, smooth and resembles soft peaks.
  • Roughly chop the dark chocolate, you want there to be tiny pieces and some larger chunks and fold it through the gelato mixture.
  • Transfer the stracciatella gelato to a freezer proof container, cover with a lid and freeze for 6 hours to overnight. Remove the gelato for the freezer around 10 minutes before serving!

Notes

  • Cream - Make sure to use heavy cream so it whips up nice and thick.
  • Chocolate - Use high-quality dark chocolate if possible for the best flavour.
  • Vanilla - I love to use vanilla bean paste which gives you a beautiful vanilla favour and tiny black speckles throughout the gelato but you can also use vanilla extract just don't use vanilla essence which is artificial flavouring.
