Cookies & Cream

Stracciatella di biscotto

A quiet fior di latte base set against dark cookie shards. Each spoonful is smooth milk first, then a toasted, cocoa-edged crunch.

Easy35.3 oz (1,000 g) batch

Prep + optional refrigerated aging + automatic cycle

Let’s make it.

From a balanced base to your first scoop.

  1. Whisk the skim milk powder, sugar, glucose, dextrose and stabilizer together until evenly blended.

  2. Combine milk and cream in a pan and warm to 113–122 °F (45–50 °C). Rain in the dry mix while stirring, heat to 185 °F (85 °C), then stir 30 seconds off the heat.

  3. Use an immersion blender to homogenize the warm base until smooth, then cool the liquid base quickly over an ice bath to 39 °F (4 °C).

  4. Optional · Rest for better texture

    (Optional, for better texture) Cover and refrigerate the liquid mix at 39 °F (4 °C) for up to 6 hours. Keep it in the refrigerator, not the freezer; it should remain cold, fluid, and pourable.

  5. Pour the cold base into the Natridy Gelato Maker bowl, secure the lid, and press Start. The built-in compressor chills and churns automatically.

  6. Fold the crushed cookie pieces in as you extract the gelato, keeping them in rough shards rather than crumbs.

  7. Optional · Firm up before serving

    (Optional, for a firmer texture) Transfer the finished gelato to a chilled container, cover, and freeze until firm. Before serving, let it soften until easily scoopable.
