Method

  1. Combine

    Put the cold UHT milk, the cream and 1 GP-BASE sachet in the mixing jug. Any order works Add 15 g of vanilla flavouring.

  2. Mix

    Mix until smooth, 2 minutes at most. No colouring.

  3. Machine

    Pour into the gelato machine (batch freezer). About 20 minutes, depending on the machine.

  4. Three layers

    When filling the pan: ⅓ of the gelato, then about 50 g of cookie sauce (variegato). Repeat three times (150 g in total).

  5. Store

    Label with flavour, date and batch. Store at −22 °C, serve in the display at about −15 °C.

Tip

Don’t stir after layering: the ribbons disappear if mixed too much.
