Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Whole milk
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries with the granulated sugar until smooth. This creates a strawberry puree.
Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds, ensuring a silky gelato texture.
Stir in the lemon juice, whole milk, and heavy cream into the strawberry puree until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours or until fully chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually around 25-30 minutes).
Transfer the gelato into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop and serve your creamy Gelato Alla Fragola in bowls or cones as a fresh treat!
