A perfect blend of tart and sweetness in a gelato!

TIP: If you want to make this a low-sugar treat, you can substitute monk fruit sweetener for the granulated sugar. It is important to strain the ice cream base to eliminate any solids that may form if the egg yolks get too warm.

NOTE: If your freezer is too cold, the gelato may look crumbly. If this occurs, select RE-SPIN to process the mixture a little more before adding mix-ins.

Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries

Utensils

  • Small Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Instant-Read Thermometer
  • Fine-Mesh Strainer
  • Step 1

    Place egg yolks, ½ cup sugar, and corn syrup in a small saucepan. Whisk until fully combined and sugar is dissolved.

  • Step 2

    Add heavy cream, milk, and mascarpone and stir until mascarpone is dissolved.

  • Step 3

    Place saucepan on stove over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or rubber spatula. Cook until temperature reaches 165°F–175°F on an instant-read thermometer.

  • Step 4

    Remove base from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into an empty CREAMi™ pint. Place into an ice bath. Once cooled, place storage lid on pint and freeze for 24 hours.

  • Step 5

    While the base is cooling, prepare the mixed berries. Place remaining sugar and mixed berries in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally and mashing to form a thick jam, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a container, and store in the fridge until use.

  • Step 6

    Remove pint from freezer and remove lid from pint.  Place pint in outer bowl, install Creamerizer™ Paddle onto outer bowl lid, and lock the lid assembly on the outer bowl. Place bowl assembly on motor base and twist the handle right to raise the platform and lock in place.

  • Step 7

    Select GELATO.

  • Step 8

    With a spoon, create a 1 ½-inch wide hole that reaches the bottom of the pint. Add mixed berry jam to the hole and process again using the MIX-IN program.

  • Step 9

    When processing is complete, remove gelato from pint and serve immediately.
