Like a kid in a candy store

Ingredients

1000g white base mix (recipe below)

180g Irca lemon flavour paste

30g fresh lemon zest

300g Irca mirror shine lemon glaze

1000g double cream

silicon mould (we used a finger mould)

Method

Blend 90g of the lemon paste and zest into the white base mix until fully mixed then pour into your batch freezer and select your usual gelato program.

Add the remaining 90g of lemon paste to the double cream and pour into a planetary mixer and mix to soft peaks.

Remove the cream from the planetary mixing bowl and keep to one side.

When your gelato is ready, add it to the planetary mixer and mix until it softens and sticks to the sides of the bowl.

Now add the whipped cream to the softened gelato and mix together.

The mix can then be poured into a piping bag and the moulds can be filled.

When the moulds are full use a pallet knife to remove any extra mix because it’s important to have a flat base when turned out so they sit flat on the plate.

Place in the blast freezer to harden for 40 minutes then demould and return to the blast freezer

Method

Use the lemon glaze to cover the lemon moulds.

Put all the desserts on a wire rack on a large tray to make sure they are coated well and any excess is caught below.

Make sure the glaze is heated between 45º-50ºC otherwise it will not stick to the desserts.

(Our mirror glaze how-to video can be found on our website).

Once you have covered the desserts with the glaze use a pallet knife to remove them, place onto a platter and store in the cabinet.

Ingredients

1000g white base mix (recipe below)

140g Irca joypaste caramel flavour paste

200g Belcolade 70% dark chocolate

300g Irca mirror shine caramel glaze

1000g double cream

silicon mould (we used a finger mould)

Method

Blend 70g of the caramel paste into the white base mix until fully mixed then pour into your batch freezer and select your usual gelato program.

Add the remaining 70g of caramel paste to the double cream and pour into a planetary mixer and mix to soft peaks.

Remove the cream from the planetary mixing bowl and keep to one side.

Temper the chocolate in the microwave and place into a piping bag (see our website for our tempering instructional videos).

Allow the chocolate to partly set and become thick so it holds its form when piped.

When your gelato is ready, add it to the planetary mixer and mix until it softens and sticks to the sides of the bowl.

Now add the whipped cream to the softened gelato and mix together.

The gelato mix can then be poured into a piping bag and the mould can be filled.

Half fill the mould then pipe a line of chocolate through the mould and finish filling with the caramel mixture and use a pallet knife to create a flat base.

Place in the blast freezer to harden for 40 minutes, de-mould and return to the blast freeze.

Method

Ingredients

1030g milk (1 litre) (3.5% fat)

160g double cream (48% fat)

55g skimmed milk powder

210g Sucranna granulated sugar

22g dextrose monohydrate

50g Glucodry 385 spray dried glucose syrup

4g Rubicone Neutro AU

Method

To calculate how much mix you require, for example multiply all elements/ ingredients by 42 to make 60 litres of finished mix, or multiply all elements/ ingredients by 21 to make 30 litres of finished mix.

Start by mixing all the dry ingredients together. This prevents the skimmed milk powder from forming lumps as you add it to the milk.

Start with the milk in the pasteuriser, select your desired pasteurisation program (we have used the low pasteurisation at 65˚C).

Once your milk reaches 40˚C, gradually add all the dry ingredients.

Once the mixture reaches 50˚C, add the cream. Now the pasteuriser will run its program, taking the mixture up to 65˚C, then holding it at 65˚C for 30 minutes, then rapidly cooling the mixture to 4˚C.

Once the mixture has reached 4˚C, allow the mixture to age for between 4 and 12 hours, the latter being preferred for best results.
