This is to die for!!!! All the best of a great Italian Cannoli combined with extra creamy Italian Gelato!!!! Purrrrfectly heaven!!! Serve in a bowl with wafer cookies or try it in cannoli shells, or even a sugar waffle cone!! Made for the Zaar World Tour 4 by the Cookin Cats. Modern Czechs, Italians, and Greeks see Almonds as good luck and long life-and give out the nuts at weddings When you say italian dessert 2 things come to mind: cannoli and gelato. We combined the gelato with the wonderful ingredients from the filling from cannoli: mascarpone, marashino cherries, and pcs of chocolate. Cooking time does not include the refrigeration time. Ingredients:
2 cups 1% low-fat milk |
2 cups half-and-half |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
8 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature |
1/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips |
1/2 cup maraschino cherry, chopped finely |
1/4 cup almonds, chopped finely and roasted |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and sugar.
2. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer, stirring continuously.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Add vanilla.
5. Let cool on counter 30 minutes.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
7. Stir in mascarpone, mix until smooth(I used a potato masher to make sure it was mixed well.).
8. Add chocolate chips, cherries, and almonds.
9. Transfer to ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
