Chocolate Gelato
- RECIPE MAKES: 12 serves (4 cups gelato)

This dark chocolate gelato is one for those who truly love chocolate. You’ll only need a spoonful to get your chocolate fix. Perfect after a meal when you just need something sweet…..Delicious!
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk 1 ¼ cups milk alternative, with cream, sugar, cornflour, and cocoa powder. Set over medium heat, bring to boil, whilst whisking constantly. When it boils, lower heat to minimum, simmer 5-6min., until thick and creamy.
Remove from heat, add chocolate, stir until chocolate completely melted. Whisk in remaining milk alternative. Cool to room temperature, refrigerate 2hr, or preferably, overnight.
Strain chocolate custard through a fine mesh strainer (this makes the gelato super smooth!). Pour into the bowl of an ice-cream maker. Churn, stop the machine when gelato is icy but soft. Transfer to an airtight container, and freeze until firm, approx., 2hr.
Remove from freezer a few minutes before required. Enjoy.
