Ingredients

  • 250 ml – 1 cup milk – cold
  • 250 ml – 1 cup heavy cream – cold
  • 130 g – ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp blue food colour

Instructions

  1. Using a hand mixer, blend the milk, cream, and sugar until smooth.

  2. Add the honey, vanilla extract, and food colouring, and blend again until the mixture looks even.
  3. Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker for 20 to 30 minutes according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. Transfer the gelato to a container, cover it, and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and press cling wrap directly onto the surface to limit ice crystals. Cover with a lid and place it in the freezer. Whisk the mixture every 45 minutes until it thickens and firms up.
