Lemon drizzle biscuit gelato
Zesty lemon gelato with a lemon ripple and crunchy biscuit pieces.
White base ingredients
- Milk (3.5% fat): 1030g
- Double cream (48% fat): 160g
- Tate & Lyle granulated sugar: 210g
- Sosa dextrose: 22g
- Brenntag spray dried glucose: 50g
- Skimmed milk powder: 50g
- Rubicone 5AU stabiliser: 5g
White base method
- Mix all the dry ingredients together, as this prevents the skimmed milk powder from forming lumps as you add it to the milk.
- Pour the milk into the pasteuriser and select the desired setting. We used the low pasteurisation setting at 65˚C.
- When the milk reaches 40˚C, gradually add in all the dry ingredients.
- Once the mixture reaches 50˚C, add the cream.
- Let the pasteuriser run its programme, heating the mixture to 65°C, holding it at 65°C for 30 minutes, then rapidly cooling it to 4°C.
- Once the mixture has reached 4°C, allow it to age for 4 to 12 hours, with 12 hours preferred for best results.
