Author Notes
I love Mexican chocolate and smores so I adapted Chuck Kerber's Mexican chocolate gelato recipe by adding more coffee and adding toasted marshmallows. —Jeff Goldberg
What You'll Need
Ingredients
-
2 cups
whole milk
-
5
egg yolks
-
1.5 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon
chili powder
-
1/4 cup
plus 2 tablespoons sugar
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
1 cup
heavy cream
-
10-11 ounces
bittersweet chocolate ( I prefer Ghirardelli dark)
-
10-12
large marshmallows
-
6
graham crackers cinnamon
Directions
- Bring milk, coffee, chili powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chocolate to a simmer (about 180 degrees). Meanwhile, combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl with a wooden spoon, blend until smooth.
- Temper the egg yolks: add the milk to the egg-yolk mixture in a slow but trickle-constant stream, whisking constantly until blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly (Do not boil). Pour in cream.
- Preheat broiler. Spread marshmallows evenly on the bottom of a medium-sized ovenproof pan. Broil until tops of marshmallows are nicely browned. Pour the warm gelato mixture over the browned marshmallows. Mix together with a whisk. I did not completely mix the marshmallows so that the final gelato will have a marshmallow swirl.
- Chill mixture for 1 hour before putting into ice cream machine. Freeze for 1 hour before serving.
- Lay graham crackers on an oven-safe tray, adding a couple of marshmallows to each one. Broil in oven until golden brown. Top with gelato for a delicious sundae.
