Marcella’s gelato recipe is the perfect time to show off my Cuisinart hand mixer. After all~ I’m trying to save face after the ‘no double boiler’ incident.
Let me say though… Marcella commented that it was years before she had a proper double boiler 🙂 We know that didn’t cause any problems in her kitchen. This smart stick is a clever kitchen tool. It is a mini food processor, a hand-held immersion blender, and a whisk stick.
Which is all that is needed to make a batch of fresh gelato… well, that and an ice cream machine. As a good southerner~ of course I have one of those.
Prune gelato. Of all the gelatos in the’ Essentials of Italian Cooking’ to make… my luck to draw prune gelato. It is simply not my favorite. It’s a good thing there is also a recipe for Banana Rum, Egg custard, Lemon and Strawberry. Those are all my favorites!
I bet I will be eating my share of gelato in Italy next week too.
Ciao y’all~
