Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe kiwis
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters whole milk
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Peel the kiwis and cut them into small chunks. Place the chunks into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. You should have about 350 milliliters of kiwi puree.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the kiwi puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. Set the mixture aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the milk and cream mixture into the kiwi puree. Gently mix until uniform and no streaks remain.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes until the gelato reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Step 6
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a smooth texture.
Step 7
Once the gelato has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Step 8
Scoop and serve your Kiwi Fruit Gelato in bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh kiwi slices or mint leaves if desired.
