Strawberry And Balsamic Homemade Gelato Recipes

Steps:

• Take the favorite Italian combination of fresh strawberries and balsamic to the next level by drizzling some aged balsamic over strawberry gelato. If you don¿t have any on hand, you can make your own balsamic syrup: Bring 2 cups balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced to 1 cup and coats the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

Steps:

• Place strawberries into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour puree through a fine-meshed sieve or strainer over a large bowl. Press on the berries using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to extract all juices; discard solids.
• Combine mascarpone cheese, milk, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in the blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Pour into strawberry puree and stir well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours to overnight.
• Place chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, 2 hours to overnight.
• Let gelato sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place first 6 ingredients in a blender; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add cream, processing just until combined. Remove to a bowl; stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 4 hours., Fill cylinder of ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate any remaining mixture until ready to freeze.), Transfer ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze until firm, 3-4 hours.

Steps:

• Place a 1-quart container and one smaller container - for any extra gelato - in the freezer. Combine the strawberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the strawberries thaw and become very soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, and transfer half the mixture to a blender. Since the mixture is hot, just cover the top of the blender jar with a dish towel pulled down tight. Blend until smooth, and then add half the milk. Blend again until smooth. Repeat with the remaining strawberries and milk. Transfer to a bowl, and chill in the refrigerator.
• Stir in the lemon juice and salt, and transfer to the container of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Scrape into the chilled container, and return to the freezer for at least two hours before serving. If frozen solid, allow to soften in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl and pour into a blender. Add strawberries, soy milk, sugar, sweetener, and salt; blend until smooth.
• Pour mixture into a pot. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep from burning, until mixture comes to a boil and starts to thicken, 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and chill thoroughly, 8 hours to overnight.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, in 2 batches if necessary, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone non-stick mat that is larger than the tray to prevent juice from spilling onto the tray.
• Combine strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl; toss gently to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet, scraping down the bowl with a spatula to ensure all the liquid is included.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer cooled strawberries and all juice to the bowl of a food processor. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cream; mix until smooth.
• Pour strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the creamy texture of a gelato, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
