Servings

This recipe yields approximately 8 servings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (473 mL) whole milk
  • 1 cup (236 mL) heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (120 mL) Di Amore Amaretto liqueur
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (30g) toasted almonds, finely chopped

Method

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and half of the sugar. Heat over medium until the mixture is hot and starts to bubble around the edges.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until well combined and slightly thickened.
  • Gradually temper the egg yolks by adding the hot milk mixture a little at a time, constantly whisking to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (170°F or 77°C).
  • Remove from heat and stir in the Amaretto liqueur and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • In the last few minutes of churning, add the toasted almonds to the gelato.
  • Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Amore Amaretto Gelato is a divine blend of creamy texture and rich flavors, perfect for those special moments. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious treat or a romantic dessert, this gelato is sure to impress with its balance of sweet almond and hints of caramel.
