Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup (340 grams) whole milk
• 1/2 cup (153 grams) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup (56 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp unflavored powdered gelatine
• 1/8 heaping tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cup (275 grams) mascarpone cheese
• Fruity extra virgin olive oil
• Good quality balsamic vinegar

Directions

• MAKE THE MASCARPONE SOFT-SERVE: Evenly whisk whole milk, sweetened condensed milk and granulated sugar in a pot. Sprinkle powdered gelatine and salt evenly on top, then bring to a simmer. Cook and whisk for 1 min until the gelatine has fully dissolved, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese until completely smooth and lump-free (I used an immersion blender for this job and I recommend it). Pour the mixture into a shallow pan, then freeze for 4~6 hours until hardened. Score the mixture into small cubes with a knife, then freeze again for another 6 hours to overnight, or until needed. Can be made several days ahead.
• Add the cubed and frozen mixture into a food-processor (I wouldnt do more than 1/2 at a time). Pulse until the cubes are chopped into small pieces (it will tumble reluctantly in the beginning but dont worry, itll break), then run the food-processor with long pulses, scraping and breaking up large lumps a couple times in between, until the mixture is smooth and thick but blended. You can now scoop the soft-serve into serving cups, or with a piping-bag with star-tip if you want the swirl effect (do it quickly before it melts).
• Drizzling generously with fruity (as fruity as you can get) extra virgin olive oil, and good quality aged balsamic vinegar (as aged as you can afford...)
