Chianti Gelato

Posted by in Desserts | 564 comments

Today I am tickled to be sharing a recipe straight out of the pages of my friend SUSAN‘s brand spankin’ new cookbook. If you’re a fan of frozen desserts then you MUST pick up a copy of her book “The Everything Ice Cream, Gelato, and Frozen Desserts” cookbook.. It’s filled with 300 (that’s almost enough for a new one every day of  the year) cold concoctions including this doozy of a gelato pictured above – Chianti Gelato.

Wine in gelato? You knew I’d be all over that one. As with all gelato recipes this one is creamy (hello heavy whipping cream) and dreamy (Cheers – Chianti). If you’re tired of traditional give this recipe a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Now for the GIVEAWAY portion! To get you started on your frozen journey one lucky bell’alimento reader is going to win a SIGNED (ehem I don’t even have a signed copy) of Susan’s new COOKBOOK and wait there’s more we’re giving away a KITCHENAID Ice Cream Maker Attachment to go with.

    Hi! Wow, it is really hard to choose just ONE thing to make first. Would it be my beloved mocha-almond ice cream (tilting toward coffee)? Or pistachio, uncolored, and studded with nuts? Or maybe the blackberry-cabernet that I tried recently? Oh wait! It might just be rose! Okay, I will abide by the rules and pick one: cardamom-pistachio!

    I’ve always wanted to make an awesome fresh peach ice cream. I think that would have to be my first.
