White mint and dark chocolate gelato

A timeless pairing that customers love, white mint blended with crispy dark chocolate pieces. Complete with a dark chocolate treat for the ultimate indulgence.

White base ingredients

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.

White mint and dark chocolate gelato method

  • Blend the white mint paste into the white base.
  • Heat the mirror glaze to between 45°C - 50°C, then allow this to cool down to around to 20°C.
  • On extraction, ripple in the dark chocolate glaze.
  • As the glaze cools, it will solidify and crack into little crunchy pieces.

Serve and finish

  1. Scoop the gelato into a serving dish, creating a generous rounded finish.
  2. Decorate with a dark chocolate piece and a sprig of fresh mint.
