Hello. C J here. I’m putting the finishing touches on my soft serve ice cream and homemade gelato recipes. I’ve got the gelato to work. It’s amazing. Like I feel healthier in a way that I’m not used to and it’s getting a bit weird. I made watermelon flavour. Here’s a picture and the recipe.
Ingredients
Two Cups White Sugar
One Cup Water
One Cup Watermelon Juice
For the Glucose Syrup
Measure the sugar and water into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the liquid becomes clear. It should still be thicker than water. Take it off the heat and let it cool slightly before using.
For the Watermelon Juice
Take a watermelon, cut off the peel and rind and then cut the pink flesh into cubes about 2-3 inches across.
Pulse the cubes in a food processor in batches until they form a thin puree.
Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer and collect the juice in a container below it. Discard the remaining dry fruit pulp from the strainer.
For the Gelato
Mix two cups of the glucose syrup with one cup of the watermelon juice.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer overnight.
To serve, scoop the gelato with an ice cream scoop into a small bowl and eat immediately.
You can probably do this with any fruit juice or pulp. I'm working on a mango nectar version and a peach puree version. I also want to try a lychee version as well. I’m still working on a vanilla milk version. Milk seems to freeze better here than cream. I’ll post the recipe when it’s done.
