 Stracciatella Ice Cream Recipe


Stracciatella Ice Cream Recipe

This Italian classic combines a creamy base with delicate chocolate shavings for a refreshing and indulgent dessert. Perfect for summer or whenever you're craving a touch of elegance! 🍦🍫


Ingredients (Makes about 1 quart):

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
    • Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Churn the Ice Cream:

    • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the consistency resembles soft serve.
  3. Add the Stracciatella Effect:

    • Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.
    • With the ice cream maker running, drizzle the melted chocolate in a thin stream into the churning ice cream.
    • The chocolate will harden on contact and break into small shards, creating the signature stracciatella effect.
  4. Freeze the Ice Cream:

    • Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
  5. Serve:

    • Scoop the stracciatella ice cream into bowls or cones. Garnish with extra chocolate shavings if desired.

Tips:

  • Alternative Method for Chocolate Shards: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, fold in finely chopped or grated chocolate directly into the semi-frozen ice cream base.
  • Chocolate Variety: Use milk chocolate or white chocolate for a twist on the traditional recipe.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week for the best texture.

Enjoy the smooth creaminess and delightful crunch of Stracciatella Ice Cream, a timeless Italian favorite! 🍦✨
