Shake it Up, Gelato!

Hey guys, I am back again! Not going to focus 100% into raw making but into Sharing on what I am cooking or making lately. My son started schooling in PCF for 5 months as of now and have outing every month organised by school. The last trip we went to ART OF SCOOP, gelato making, Mmmmmm... Sounds yummy and my son and his classmates all looking forward to this trip. I went along too as this is one of the conditions. This is trip is very interesting and we have learnt to make Gelato ourselves at home. I had shared previously on making popicle at home as in the link : http://rawhealthyfood.blogspot.sg/2010/07/maitris-favourite-ice-cream-and-cookie.html

This round will be another kind of ice cream, they called it Gelato which is from Itali, no eggs, only milk, sugar and vanilla essence. We actually get to make the Gelato in the workshop and it taste great! I started making it at home with Organic Rice Milk, Organic Raw Sugar and Organic Vanilla Extract as shown below:

This is how it goes......

What you need is a big size zip lock bag, a smaller size zip lock bag, masking tape, salt, ice as shown below:

Next pour 300ml rice milk in a cup, add in 1~2 tablespoon of raw sugar (depend on your liking on sweetness), add in 1~2 teaspoon of vanilla essence (taste it before you add more)

Stirred up the mixture until no clicking sound from the sugar, then pour it into the smaller zip lock bag and add masking tape as shown below:

Also add in the ice until half of the bag is filled and add in 1 1/2 pack of salt into the big zip lock bag as shown below:

The final step is to place the small zip lock bag into the big zip lock bag and add masking tape as shown below :

Be sure to place a towel below the bag for ease of cleaning later....

At last the FUN is here, shake it up, this way and that way, up and down, left and right. If your hand are cold slide it on the towel on the floor or tray.

Don't forget to use a glove to prevent your hands from FREEZING.... BRrrrr

Thanks Bro, your hand glove comes in handy.

...........  After 5~10mins......  Your Gelato is DONE! Depends on your shaking speed and volume, the freezing time is different. Scoop it up and ENJOY!

My son likes chocolate flavour, I add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the mixture for the taste.

This is a fun way to keep the kids busy indoor and they get to enjoy their hardship later. 

One point is that there will be waste on the plastic bags and needs lots of ice and salt. 

So in the end I bought a Gelato maker by Kenwood..... Have yet to tried out, will update later on the efficiency of this machine ya
