Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup powdered milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Recipe

• 1 place a 1-quart freezer container in the freezer.
• 2 in a heavy saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, powdered milk, vanilla and corn syrup, and bring to a boil. whisk until the sugar and powdered milk have dissolved. remove from the heat, pour into a bowl, and allow to cool—or chill in the refrigerator—until mixture is room temperature. add the salt.
• 3 freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• 4 shortly before the gelato is ready, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50-percent power, or set in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, for about 2 minutes. cool to 100 degrees f (tepid).
• 5 when the gelato has reached the desired texture, drizzle in the chocolate in a very fine stream while continuing to run the machine. you can control the stream by using a spatula for the drizzling. if the stream is too thick or too fast, the chocolate will form into clumps instead of flecks.
• 6 transfer the gelato to the freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
