During a recent trip to Italy, I found an incredible Chocolate Gelato that made a lasting impression on me. This classic Italian dessert has a flavor that is rich and sophisticated.
Imagine walking along the cobblestone streets of Italy with the sun warming your face and the sound of people laughing in the distance filling the air. Suddenly, the smell of rich, velvety chocolate draws you to a charming gelateria.
That, my friends, is the real chocolate gelato experience we’re about to recreate! This delicious recipe, which was made with love and passion, captures the spirit of traditional Italian gelato while being easy to make at home.
This delicious gelato is an irresistible treat for chocolate lovers, regardless of the time of year or occasion.
This authentic Italian Chocolate Gelato is a delicious frozen dessert made with egg yolks, cocoa powder, and silky melted dark chocolate. It will surely please your taste buds and rekindle your love for this classic dessert.
Let your taste buds guide you when choosing the right chocolate for your gelato. Choose chocolate with a higher or lower percentage of cocoa, depending on how bitter you like it. For a truly delicious experience, we recommend 70% dark chocolate that is rich and smooth.
And don’t worry, whether you have an ice cream maker or not, we’ve got you covered. Prepare to be amazed as we show you how to make the best chocolate gelato at home, with or without the help of an ice cream maker. Let the fun with chocolate begin!
Whole Milk: Whole milk is the base of real Italian gelato. It gives the gelato a rich, creamy texture without the heaviness of traditional ice cream, which lets the flavors stand out.
Heavy Cream: Heavy cream adds an irresistible richness to the gelato, making its velvety texture even better without overpowering the ice cream.
Granulated sugar: Granulated sugar establishes a delicate balance, resulting in a harmonious flavor profile that lets the lead ingredient, chocolate, take center stage.
Cocoa Powder: The secret to a richly chocolatey gelato, the unsweetened cocoa powder gives each bite a strong cocoa flavor that takes you right to the heart of an Italian piazza.
Dark Chocolate: Good dark chocolate, with at least 70% cocoa, is a non-negotiable ingredient if you want to make authentic Italian gelato. It makes the gelato taste better and goes well with the other ingredients to make an indulgent, memorable experience.
Egg Yolks: These golden gems contribute to the rich, custard-like texture of real Italian gelato, making each spoonful melt in your mouth.
Vanilla Extract: A small but important addition, vanilla extract goes well with the chocolate, rounding out the flavors and giving the overall taste more depth.
Make the mixture: To make the mixture, combine the cocoa and half of the sugar 1/3 cup (75 grams) in a bowl. Then, move the mixture to a saucepan. Add the cold milk, whisk it all together, and heat for about 5 minutes over very low heat.
Keep the temperature at around 85°C (185°F) to ensure the eggs are safely pasteurized. If the milk starts to boil, take the pan off the heat or turn it down.
Melt in the chocolate: Chop the chocolate and stir it in, letting it melt completely. Keep stirring to keep the mixture from getting too hot and boiling.
Whisk the egg yolks: Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1/3 cup (75 grams) of sugar until fluffy and frothy.
Combine the mixtures. Gradually add the hot milk and chocolate to the egg cream. Put back in the pan, stir with a wooden spoon, and cook on low heat for 5 minutes. When it starts to thicken, it’s done.
Add the heavy cream: Take the pot off the heat and mix in the cold heavy cream and vanilla.
If you have a compressor ice cream maker that cools the mixture as it churns, you don’t need to put the mixture in the fridge to cool it down. Pour the chocolate mixture into the ice cream maker and follow the directions given by the maker’s instructions.
Most of the time, it takes between 30 and 40 minutes to churn. Your chocolate gelato is now done!
It takes more time, around 5 hours, and more work, but the end result is still great! Follow the steps, then pour the chocolate mixture into a container for gelato and put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Move the container with gelato to the freezer for about 5 hours. Every 30 minutes, break up the frozen surface with a hand whisk or an electric whisk at low speed. This keeps ice crystals from forming and gives the drink a creamy texture.
Even though it takes more work, the end result will be a delicious, authentic Italian Chocolate Gelato!
Transfer your freshly made chocolate gelato to an airtight container; ideally one made for ice cream or gelato. This will help keep the right texture and prevent freezer burn.
Smooth the gelato’s surface and place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on top of it. This will keep air from getting to the gelato and prevent ice crystals from forming.
To keep a consistent temperature, seal the container and put it in the coldest part of your freezer, which is usually the back.
When you’re ready to try your homemade Italian Chocolate Gelato, let it sit out at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how warm your kitchen is. This will make the perfect consistency for scooping.
For an authentic Italian touch, use a gelato spade or a round ice cream scoop to make those perfect, mouth-watering curls of gelato. Serve in a chilled bowl or cone, and if you’re feeling especially decadent, top it with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or warm chocolate sauce.
With this delicious Italian Chocolate Gelato Recipe, you can take a trip to Italy. This homemade treat will make your taste buds dance with its rich cocoa flavor and velvety texture.

Canestrelli are traditional Italian cookies from sunny areas like Liguria and Piedmont. They are also called “the golden crescents of love.” When you take a bite, the soft crumb and silky egg yolks make you feel like you’re in a quaint little Italian village.
These heavenly cookies have a long and interesting history that goes back hundreds of years. The stories about how they came to be are as intertwined as the arms of two lovers lost in each other’s embrace. Canestrelli is more than just cookies.
They are a love story, just like Sicilian Cassata cake, Sicilian Cannoli, or Italian Gelato, a celebration of Italian culinary fine art, and a testament to the magic that happens when simple ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter come together in a passionate dance.
One can’t help but be hypnotized by the magical dusting of powdered sugar on these cookies, which looks like a light snowfall on the beautiful Italian mountains. When you bite into the crumbly, buttery goodness, it’s like the heavens have opened up and is serenading your taste buds with heavenly flavors.

As we start this fun baking adventure, may our kitchens be filled with the sounds of laughter, the smell of love, and, of course, the irresistible smell of freshly baked Canestrelli. As they say in Italy, Buon appetito!
Hard-boiled egg yolks: These golden orbs are the stars of the show. They give our Canestrelli a rich, velvety texture that makes them crumble and melt on your tongue like an Italian sunset.
All-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is the stage on which our other ingredients do their dance, giving delicate turns of flavor structure and stability.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch is the whispering wind that gives these cookies a feather-light touch and keeps them as soft as the wings of a flying butterfly.
Cold butter: Cold butter is the maestro of this symphony of aromas. It weaves through the other ingredients with ease, giving our Canestrelli a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Confectioners’ sugar: Confectioners’ sugar is like a magical snowfall that gently kisses our cookies, adding just the right amount of sweetness to balance the rich, buttery flavors of the Canestrelli.
Lemon zest: Like children’s laughter echoing through the cobbled streets, lemon zest gives our cookies a bright, zesty zing that gives them depth and a touch of fun, just like in this Italian lemon ricotta cake.
Vanilla extract: Like the soft, loving arms of Nonna, the smell of vanilla extract wraps around your heart and stays there long after you’ve eaten the last crumb.
Once your Canestrelli has cooled, carefully place them in an airtight container or a cookie tin. This will keep them as fresh as the air in Tuscany. Layer the cookies with thin sheets of parchment paper to keep them from breaking or losing their pretty sugar coating.
Yes, you can make the Canestrelli dough ahead of time. Make your dough by following the instructions, and when you’re done, wrap it in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 1–2 days: Give your dough the gift of time by putting it in the cool sanctuary of your refrigerator for 1–2 days to rest and develop its flavors.
Temper at room temperature: Before you shape your cookies, give the dough about 1 to 2 hours to get used to room temperature. This important step makes the dough more flexible and easier to roll, which makes it possible to make Canestrelli with beautiful shapes.
With this yummy Canestrelli recipe, you’ll be taken on a trip to Italy through your taste buds. You’ll sing “Mamma Mia!” as soon as you try one of these delicious cookies. So put on your favorite Italian music, put on your apron, and let’s get ready to bake a storm with these delicious treats.
