I tried the Chocolate Gelato w/ Toffee Bits recipe from Anniegrl

I made the gelato recipe that Anniegrl shared on Easter, and it was YUMMY!!

DH makes ice cream often, and when he tasted this, he really LOVED it! He even asked for the recipe, which is rare. We had seconds the next day, and then it was gone.

Thanks, Anniegrl!!!

Chocolate gelato with toffee bits!!

1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbs cornstarch
pinch of salt
2 cups of whole milk, divided
5 oz bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (I just used chocolate chips)
1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup of coursely crushed toffee candy, such as Skor, Heath, etc.

Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy medicum saucepan until blended. Gradually add 1/4 cup milk, whisking until cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk in remaining 1 3/4 cups milk. Whisk over medium-high heat until mixture thickens and comes to boil, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook 1 minute longer, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Let stand 1 minute, then whisk until melted and smooth. Transfer gelato base to medium bowl. Mix in cream. Place bowl over large bowl filled with ice and water to cool, stirring often, about 30 minutes.
Process gelato base in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, adding toffee during last minute of churning. Transfer to container; cover. Freeze at least 3 hours.

Yay! Glad you liked it! I think they need to make bigger ice cream makers - we also finished the gelato in 2 days.
