A couple weeks ago my Godson Riley asked me if I would make him chocolate ice cream. I decided he would like gelato better because it is creamier and smoother than ice cream. His mom would also like it because it is lower in fat than ice cream (both milk and heavy cream are used to make it).
Riley loves marshmallows so I wanted to get creative and make S’mores gelato. I think that S’mores are the perfect combination of flavours. You get the crunch from the cookies, the extra sweetness from the marshmallows, and the rich chocolaty base. For my gelato I used digestive cookies instead of graham crackers because I prefer their flavour, but you can use whatever you like best. The unique step in this recipe is that you beat your egg yolks with sugar until they are light and pale yellow in colour, unlike traditional ice cream recipes where you skip this step. This really helped the gelato to be extra light and airy!
Hopefully the gelato is a hit with Riley; I personally think that it turned out delicious!
