Homemade Gelato Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups red wine (I used homemade from 2010)
- 1 Tablespoon black pepper (fresh ground if possible)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups milk
- 6 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
Instructions
- Measure the wine into a stainless steel sauce pan, bring it to a boil then reduce the heat so it simmers for about 20 minutes or until the wine is reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Pour the wine into a glass container at this point and add in the pepper. Cover the container and allow this to steep for half an hour.
- While the pepper and wine are steeping, add the milk and cream to the pan the wine was in. Bring this to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce it to a simmer. This takes a while as you do not want the milk and cream to burn.
- Once the milk and cream mixture is reduced to 2 cups, whisk in the sugar and corn syrup. Cook for 3 minutes whisking to make sure the sugar and corn syrup dissolve.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the wine mixture. You can strain it at this point if you wish.
- Sit the pan in an ice water bath and prepare your ice cream maker.
- Pour the cooled mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers instructions for use.
- Once the ice cream maker is finished working, scoop the gelato (mine was very liquidly still) into a freezer container, cover and freeze overnight.
