Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup amaretti cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  3. While the gelato is churning, melt the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Drizzle the melted chocolate into the churning gelato during the last few minutes of churning to create the stracciatella effect.
  5. Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container, sprinkle the crushed amaretti cookies on top, and gently fold them into the gelato. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
