What is the difference between gelato and ice cream? Ice cream is a frozen egg custard base while gelato often uses no eggs. In the recipe below, I use cornflour to thicken.

Equipment

  • ice cream maker

Ingredients

  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 20 g cornflour
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 200 ml whole milk
  • 400 ml sour cream
  • 250 g cherries pitted

Instructions

  • Put the sugar, cornflour, salt and 2 tablespoons of the milk, into a small pan over a low heat. Whisk the mixture together as you warm it, then add the rest of the milk.
  • Continue to whisk until it thickens. The mixture will become translucent, meaning that the cornflour has cooked through properly.
  • Remove from heat and add the hot liquid to the sour cream. Leave to cool, then add to your ice cream maker and churn for 90 minutes.
