Coffee Gelato Recipe

FROM TL

A novel way to use xylitol which proves that you can use xylitol in nearly every recipe!

Ingredients:

• 5 egg yolks
• ¾ cup Xylitol
• 2 cups milk
• ½ cup freshly made espresso
• 1 tablespoon Tia Maria or coffee liqueur

Method:

• Whisk the egg yolks and half the xylitol in a bowl until you have a pale creamy mixture.
• Pour the milk and coffee into a saucepan, add the remaining Xylitol and bring to the boil.
• Add to the egg mixture and whisk together.
• Pour back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, taking care that it doesn’t boil.
• Stir constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl and cool over ice before adding the Tia Maria.
• Pour the mixture into a freezer-proof container, cover and freeze.
• Break up the ice crystals every 30 minutes with a fork to ensure a smooth texture.
• Repeat until it is ready – this may take 4 hours.

Serves 6.

Enjoy!
