This recipe requires an electric ice cream or gelato maker. We have a very basic model made by Cuisinart that we purchased for less than $50 a few years back.
There are three steps that are crucial in following to the letter. First, make sure your ice cream maker canister is fully frozen before you start (keep it in the freezer until the very last moment). Before you place the gelato mixture into the ice cream maker, be sure it has chilled for at least 3 hours. Similarly, after it’s done in the ice cream maker, put the gelato into your freezer for another 3 hours. These steps will ensure a solidly frozen treat as opposed to some semi-frozen mush.
