The chillin' begins...

Our journey to create the perfect scoop of gelato began simply with late night cravings for the dessert and one basic ice cream making workshop. With no other cooking or baking experience whatsoever...we did some research, invested in some ingredients and a home ice cream maker and there goes.
With much enthusiasm, we made our first batch following a book recipe using eggs, full cream milk, cream, sugar and vanilla essence. The pictures below show our vanilla gelato looking creamily innocent but the fact is it turned out overwhelmingly sweet. Even though I swear we followed the exact proportions in the recipe!

Unable to get past eating a few spoonfuls, we retired our first batch into the freezer. Feeling slightly cheated by the recipe, we decided most constructively to keep a detailed record of our attempts so we can fine tune and improve from there.
So stay tuned for more gelato!
