1

Create the Gingerbread Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well blended.

2

Spice it Up

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves to the cream mixture. Give it a good whisk to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

3

Infuse with Gingerbread

Break 5-6 gingerbread cookies into small pieces and add them to the cream mixture. Let the cookies soak for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a glistening gingerbread essence.

4

Let it Chill

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the gingerbread-infused cream mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can resist the temptation. This chilling time will allow the flavors to develop and the gingerbread goodness to shine through.

5

Churn and Freeze

Pour the chilled gingerbread gelato base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, transfer the gelato to a lidded container and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm up.

6

Serve and Enjoy

Scoop out generous portions of the glistening gingerbread gelato into bowls or cones. Don't forget to sprinkle a little extra holiday cheer on top, like crushed gingerbread cookies or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Dive in, savor the deliciousness, embrace the festive vibes, and let your taste buds dance with joy!
