Shirl's Gelato Mix
This basic gelato mix is an ingredient in all of my gelato flavors, so if you master this mix, a whole world of gelato flavors will open up. Each flavor will call for 700g of mix, exactly half of this recipe. I will be working on new flavors and posting them from time to time. THIS FORMULA IS CALIBRATED IN QUARTS AND PINTS SO THAT THE DAIRY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE WEIGHED. THIS IS AN 8% BUTTERFAT FORMULA: 80 % Milk / 20% Cream. YIELD: ABOUT 1440g (5½ cups) TWO PORTIONS - 720g EACH (2¾ cups). MAKES ENOUGH GELATO MIX FOR TWO (3/4 TO 1-QUART) BATCHES OF GELATO WHEN ADDITIONAL FLAVORING INGREDIENTS ARE ADDED.
