Fruit Gelato
This easy fruit gelato recipe is the basis for many different fruit gelato variations.
Equipment
- food processor
- ice cream maker
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit
- 1½ cups granulated sugar or to taste
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
- ½ cup whipping cream or milk
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the food processor, puree until smooth.
- Take the freezer bowl component of the Cuisinart ice cream maker out of the freezer where it is stored.
- Pour the mixture in, then flip a switch to turn on the machine.
- About 25 minutes later, check the progress. If peaks are forming and the gelato has gotten quite thick, remove it from the ice cream maker (it will be very soft).
- Serve immediately or scrape it into a plastic freezer-safe container and put it in the freezer to firm up.
