It&#8217;s traditionally made by slowly drizzling melted semisweet or bittersweet chocolate into the ice cream maker as the gelato churns. The chocolate immediately seizes and breaks into larger chips and smaller shards. While the chips in an American-style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mint-chip-ice-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mint-chip-ice-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chocolate chip ice cream<\/a> are toothsome and chewable, the chocolate in stracciatella is so fine that it melts almost as soon as you eat it.<\/p>\n<p>This homemade version captures the essence of the classic Italian dessert, but because most domestic ice cream makers don&#8217;t have built-in refrigeration it&#8217;s a risk to add a hot ingredient like melted chocolate to the mix. Instead, we recommend finely chopping the chocolate by hand and then folding it in to the gelato base. Each spoonful offers a delightful contrast of smooth, sweet and creamy gelato and the gentle crunch and bitterness of dark chocolate.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Stracciatella Gelato<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whole milk and heavy whipping cream:<\/strong> Two types of dairy combined make the base for this stracciatella gelato. Compared to ice cream, gelato has a far lighter base with a lower proportion of cream and a higher quantity of milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar sweetens the gelato base. Don&#8217;t reduce the quantity or replace it with an alternative sweetener as that will change the texture of the finished product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark chocolate<\/strong>: Finely chopped dark chocolate forms the sweet little chocolate freckles in the finished gelato. We call for baking chocolate, but you can use any dark chocolate bar you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Simmer the gelato base and chill<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2034321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stracciatella-Gelato_TOHD24_277377_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Stracciatella Gelato recipe photo of the gelato base ready to chill.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large saucepan, bring milk, sugar, cream and salt to a low simmer until sugar has dissolved, three to four minutes, stirring constantly.

Ice cream is typically made primarily from heavy cream with some milk and often egg yolks. The mix is churned vigorously, which blends in a lot of air. Because of the richness of the finished product, and the quantity of air in the mix, ice cream is best served very cold. Gelato, conversely, is made with more milk than cream, and just a little bit of egg yolk, if any. The mixture is whipped at a lower speed, which incorporates less air, making the gelato feel dense and rich when you eat it, despite its lower fat content. Because gelato is less creamy and less airy than ice cream, it is usually served at a slightly warmer temperature. The fact that it\u2019s not as cold as ice cream makes it feel softer on the palate.<\/p>\n<h3>Is stracciatella gelato made with a vanilla base?<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional stracciatella is made from fior di latte gelato, a milk base, which isn&#8217;t typically flavored with vanilla. Think of it as sweetened plain yogurt versus vanilla yogurt. You can absolutely add a splash of vanilla extract, if you like.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make gelato without an ice cream maker?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze gelato without an ice cream maker! The ice crystals may not be quite as fine, so it might have a slightly grainy texture but it will taste just as delicious. To make ice cream without an ice cream maker, pour the ice cream mixture into a shallow container (glass or metal works best) that you\u2019ve previously frozen. Freeze it until almost firm, but still soft enough to be stirred. For the next three hours, check the ice cream every 30 minutes and stir or mix with a hand mixer to keep it aerated and creamy.
