Mocha Chip Gelato Amazing! - Ice Cream Machine

"This is an amazing frozen treat! It takes a little time continuously whisking, but it is definitely worth it. The next time I make it I may double the recipe, it will definitely still fit in the ice cream maker cylinder. I used skim milk because it is what I had on hand and omitted the almonds at the end. I've heard of people using espresso powder instead of instant coffee, but the instant coffee gives a very nice, subtle flavor. Also, some have mentioned using less cornstarch, but I used the full 2 TBSP and thought it came out great. The consistency is ridiculously smooth and I may have added a little more than an ounce of chopped chocolate. Enjoy!"

  1. Delicious and easy!! I would definitely recommend this. At first glance the servings seemed small, but once I took in the amazingly intense and wonderful flavors, I realized it was the perfect portion size. Thanks!!
     
  2. Delicious, everyone loved it. I like it especially because it was lower in fat and not a lot of sugar. I used instant espresso, and will try using instant coffee instead for a mellower flavor.
     
  3. I wasn't all that pleased with the way mine turned out. I used decaf coffee granules, and the equivalent amount of cocoa powder to substitute for the bittersweet chocolate because I didn't have it. I also omitted the almonds. I won't give it a poor rating because the end product was probably altered by my substitution. I'm glad other people enjoy this, but, unfortunately, I won't be making this again.
     
  4. Easy and delicious, creamy and not too sweet.
