How to make
In a bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. It would be good if we put the container in a larger container with ice or cold water.
The greater density of the dessert is due to it being mixed at a much slower speed.
Pour the condensed milk into the mixture and stir gently with a spatula to keep the volume.
Unlike ice cream, we know that the original Gelato has less aeration and water crystals in its texture.
To shorten the process of freezing the dessert, it is good for the mold in which we will store it to stay and cool in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
We pour the mixture into it and leave it for about 35-40 minutes in the freezer.
Blend the fresh raspberries well along with powdered sugar, raspberry liqueur and lime juice.
Its main purpose is to preserve the ruby color of the fruit. Blend well again until we get a smooth consistency. Add the chocolate and mix well.
We take the box out of the freezer, add the mixture, stirring slowly and in a wavy motion with the spatula.
We close the box with a lid or cover with foil for fresh storage and leave it in the freezer for 5-6 hours.
During this time we prepare the raspberry coulis. For me, the dose is larger because I keep the rest in the fridge and add to fruit salads, creams, pancakes and smoothies.
Prepare a syrup from the sugar and water and let it boil for about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly and add the liqueur, pureed fruit and lemon juice. Heat again and stir over low heat for another 7 minutes. Strain through a colander and leave it to cool.
The thickness of the syrup can be adjusted, depending on the amount of fruit and its sugar or water content. I needed a thicker consistency.
We take the box out of the freezer at room temperature for 5-10 minutes just before serving, so that it relaxes and you can scoop it well so that its texture remains softer and creamier.
We serve the dessert on crushed cocoa cookies as a base. They will absorb some of the melting raspberry ice cream and add texture to the dessert. Arrange with chocolate, raspberries and freshly grated lime peel for freshness.
The homemade raspberry gelato is great, try it!
