Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, pour 1 cup (250 ml) of the milk and all of the cream, then add the split vanilla bean, if using. Warm over medium heat until it just starts to bubble around the edge (no need to bring it to a boil).
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 cup (250 ml) milk, sugar, and cornstarch together. Remove the saucepan with the hot milk from the heat and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Place the egg yolk in a medium bowl and whisk until pale and thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Temper the egg yolk by slowly pouring one ladleful of the hot milk mixture into the yolk, whisking constantly, then slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking to combine.
- Remove from the heat. Pour into an airtight container. (Leave the vanilla bean into the gelato custard while it cools.) Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours, or preferably overnight. The Sicilian-style gelato base must be very cold before churning: this will produce the smoothest, silkiest texture.
- Fish the vanilla bean out of the custard and discard.
- Strain the Sicilian-style gelato base to produce the smoothest texture. Pour into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Stop the machine when the gelato is thick and icy but still easily spoonable.
- STORAGE: Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about two hours.Homemade Sicilian-style gelato is at its creamiest and best if enjoyed within 2 weeks. Past that, some ice crystals will inevitably start forming (especially if the gelato is kept in the freezer section of a regular fridge, as opposed to a chest freezer) and the texture won't be quite as smooth. The gelato will still be perfectly edible for up to 2 months, but my advice is: enjoy it as quickly as possible after churning.
- SERVING: Always take Sicilian-style gelato out to room temperature 20 minutes before serving to make it easier to scoop. This will also allow you to enjoy the treat at its ideal temperature and texture.
- MAKE IT DAIRY FREE: Substitute lactose-free milk or oat milk for the regular milk, and lactose-free heavy cream or soy cream for the regular heavy cream.
- MAKE IT VEGAN: Get my recipe and instructions for making vegan gelato.

LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE SICILIAN GELATO
After lots of experimenting to develop a low-fat ice cream or gelato, I came up with this recipe. Despite the lengthy instructions, it's very simple to make. I couldn't believe how wonderfully rich and creamy it turned out to be. The secret is in the cocoa powder, which makes the gelato dense and rich without adding fat. Because the gelato contains no fat, leftovers will freeze hard. To soften, defrost leftovers in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.

Steps:
- Whisk 1/4 cup milk and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth to make a slurry.
- Combine the remaining milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Add espresso powder and the cornstarch slurry. Bring back to a boil; stir gelato mixture until thickened like pudding, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer to a metal bowl. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
- Fill a large bowl with ice water; set the bowl of gelato mixture inside. Stir frequently until cooled, about 7 minutes. Remove metal bowl from ice bath; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer gelato mixture into an ice cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Pour gelato into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze until solid, about 10 minutes.

SICILIAN GELATO-STYLE ICE CREAM
Sicilian gelato, or ice cream made with starch (instead of eggs), makes for a perfect and versatile base for most flavours! Making it is easy and fairly "fail-safe", and the results are generally very smooth and pleasant.

Steps:
- Whisk together 200 ml (about 0.8 cup) of the cold milk with the corn starch, making sure that there are no remaining lumps. Set aside for now.
- Blend the remaining 500 ml (about 2.1 cup) of the milk/cream, the sugar, the salt and vanilla bean (with seeds scraped out and added) in a sauce pan. Warm until steaming hot (not boiling!) on medium heat.
- Blend the corn starch mixture with the rest of the ingredients in the sauce pan. While barely reaching a boil, cook and stir for about four- five minutes, or until the mixture has begun to thicken and any possible "floury" taste (from the starch) has disappeared [and don't overcook: that would reduce the thickening powers of the starch].
- Take the ice cream base from the heat and let the mixture cool down.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours, discard the vanilla bean, and freeze according to the instructions of your ice cream machine.
- In case you have no ice cream machine, still-freeze the base in your freezer (see the link below the box!) - this base is perfect for still-freezing, by the way!
- After the churning, place the ice cream in a freezer-safe container, cover with plastic film and a lid, and store in the freezer.

Steps:
- Soak ground coffee in boiling water for 10 minutes, then strain using coffee filter or a very fine screen.

- Once thickened, stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
- Pour into bowl and cool in refrigerator or freezer (cover with wrap to prevent skin forming on top).
- When mixture is completely cold, pour into your ice cream machine and churn per machine instructions. Add optional cookies in the last 5 minutes of churn time. I have a cuisinart and it took about 25 minutes to make.

SICILIAN CHOCOLATE GELATO
From the Scharffen Berger website, this Sicilian gelato contains simply milk, yet it's still completely AMAZING. Add mint leaves to the 2 cups milk for a mint chocolate gelato. I didn't even use what is probably considered "quality" cocoa and this still tastes so great.

Steps:
- In medium saucepan bring 2 cups of the milk to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, whisk the remaining cup of milk with the sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch.
- Scrape the cocoa mixture into the hot milk. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles a little at the edges.
- Stir and cook for a minute longer.
- Strain through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a clean bowl and cool.
- Cover the surface of the mixture with plastic wrap and chill overnight. (You may also set the bowl over an ice bath and stir the hot gelato mixture frequently until cool).
- TO MAKE GELATO: Freeze according to the instructions with your ice cream maker. The mixture is thick to begin with and may take less time than average in the ice cream maker. Makes one scant quart ice cream.
- TO MAKE FUDGE POPS: Divide the chilled gelato base between the ice pop molds and place in the freezer overnight to set. These will have a slightly icy texture. (If you have an ice cream maker and would like a finer-textured fudge pop, freeze the gelato base according to the instructions with your ice cream maker and divide the mixture evenly between ice pop molds. Place in the freezer overnight to set.).
- TO MAKE GRANITA: Pour the chilled gelato base into a large, shallow baking dish (the shallower the dish, the faster the mixture will freeze) and place in the freezer. In about an hour, the liquid will begin to freeze along the sides of the pan. Using a fork, scrape the ice towards the center of the pan. Repeat this process every 20 minutes or so until all of the mixture is frozen and flaked.

Steps:
- Mix the cocoa and half the sugar in a bowl. Transfer to a saucepan then add the cold milk. Mix with the help of a whisk and place on the heat.
- Stir and continue to cook for 5 minutes over very low heat. The milk must NOT boil. Chop the chocolate and add it. Let it melt completely, continuing to mix and always making sure that the mixture DOES NOT boil.
- Meanwhile, whip the egg yolks with half of the remaining sugar, until you get a fluffy and soft cream.
- Add the milk-chocolate mixture to the egg cream. Transfer to a saucepan, keep stirring with a wooden spoon and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. The mixture must reach no more than 85 °C (185 F). In this way the eggs are pasteurized. When it become thicker, it's ready.
- Remove from the heat and add the cold heavy cream. Stir to mix all the ingredients.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the ice cream maker. Start up the machine following the manufacturer's instructions. Usually you have to let the ice cream maker work for about 30/40 minutes.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a gelato container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it cool for about 1/2 an hour. Then transfer in the freezer and leave it for about 5 hours. Every 30 minutes you have to break the frozen surface. So remove from the freezer and mix for about 30 seconds using a hand whisk or an electric whisk on low speed.

SICILIAN SWEETS | 13 DELICIOUS DESSERTS TO TRY IN SICILY
From followingtherivera.com
Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
- Canolo Siciliano. For me, the Canolo Siciliano (Sicilian canolo) is the king of Sicilian sweets. And it’s what I most crave when we land in Sicily. The delicious pastry comes from the commune of Caltanissetta in central Sicily and has roots in Arabic culture.
- Granita Siciliana. If canolo is the first sweet I crave on arrival in Sicily, granita Siciliana is what I crave for breakfast in Italy. It might sound strange to eat first thing in the morning, but most Sicilians do, and they know best.
- Cassata Siciliana. Put together ricotta cheese, sponge cake, almond paste and candied fruit and you’ve got yourself a Sicilian cassata cake. It’s another Sicilian sweet that’s said to originate from the days of Arab rule, though it’s never officially been proven.
- Setteveli. It’s time for cake. And there are several Sicilian cakes so heavenly, you’ll be dreaming about it long after you’ve put down the fork. Setteveli translates to ‘seven veils’ which should give you an idea of the cake’s foundations.
- Sfincia di San Giuseppe. Sfincia di San Giuseppe is a typical dessert that was usually served on the feast of St Joseph (19 March). Today, it’s a Sicilian sweet you can find all year round, but typically in smaller towns.
- Gelato di Campagna. This Sicilian sweet translates as ‘countryside ice cream’, a name that’s pretty misleading, as ice cream, it’s not. Gelato di Campagna has the consistency of nougat, and usually comes in 3 colors.
- Biscotto di pasta di mandorle (almond cookies) When I’m back in Sicily and craving a small sweet fix, there’s one thing I look for. Biscotto di pasta di mandorle is a small, soft, chewy cookie with a texture similar to macaroons.
- Cassatelle Siciliane. How does crispy, crunchy crescent-shaped pastries filled with ricotta cheese sound? Sicilian ricotta cassatelle is up there with the best of pastries on the island.
- Biancomangiare. The thing I’m immediately reminded of when eating biancomangiare (when cold) is panna cotta. Biancomangiare is a milk pudding, made without eggs, with a soft, melt-in-the-mouth consistency.
- Minne di Sant’Agata. What would you say to trying a Sicilian dessert that resembles the shape of small breasts? The Minne di Sant’Agata — a small Sicilian cassata — is exactly this.

- Put cocoa in a medium bowl and whisk in enough coconut milk (about 2/3 cup) to make a smooth paste. Stir in vanilla.
- Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the remaining coconut milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the mixture begins to barely simmer around the edges. Then, stirring constantly and scraping the sides and corners of the pan to prevent scorching, let the mixture simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to fully cook the cornstarch. Scrape the hot mixture into the bowl with the cocoa mixture. Whisk until well blended. Let cool, undisturbed, for about 45 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours.
- Pour the gelato mixture into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
