Everyone loves Strawbery Gelato and this easy to make fool proof recipe will work in your ice cream maker too!
What could be better than Strawberry Gelato? Try this easy and oh so delicious and super easy recipe and decide for yourself.
When I was in Italy, I just couldn’t get enough Gelato! I don’t care what time it was, or how cold it was, it was always time for gelato, but when I’ve tried it in the states (with very few exceptions) it just didn’t taste right. The flavor might have been there, but the texture was wrong, it was never quite right.
Over the years I have attempted to make my own, always blaming the fact that it didn’t come out right on my ice cream maker because everyone knows you can’t make gelato in an ice cream maker…..sheeeesh. Well, I finally broke down and bought a gelato maker.
Gelato is made differently than Ice cream, it’s denser and creamier, and the flavors are more intense than regular ice cream. The reason for this is due to a very important ingredient – air. American ice cream can contain up to 50% air. This results in a lighter airier texture.
However, when making gelato, air is prevented from blending into the mixture. This creates the denser and more intense flavors that gelato is so popularly known for. Well, at least that’s what the review said….
So now I had the right equipment, I should be able to make gelato like I had in Italy…..sigh. The problem I now had was finding a good recipe, and trust me that was not an easy task! There are quite a few recipes out there, but most of them use cream, not milk, I know that’s wrong.
To keep the intensity of the flavors, traditional gelato is made using more milk than cream (not to say that you can’t add some cream). I also found recipes with eggs, and I do love a good custard-style ice cream, but this was Gelato folks, not ice cream…..sigh
The Gelato Makers I recommend are the Lopie 1.6 Qt. and the Breville Smart Scoop. Both machines can be set to make a variety of frozen treats including Gelato.
Then by chance, I stumble upon a fairly authentic recipe by Giuliano Hazan, it was getting rave reviews and if I couldn’t trust Giuliano who could I trust? The recipe was simple and straightforward, no extra ingredients or work. No custard to prepare, nothing to chill for 4 hours first, just me a food processor and my Gelato Maker. Life was good!
I have to admit that the flavor was astounding, the preparation couldn’t have been easier, but it was more like a sorbet than gelato……..so close! Now I think it’s an easy fix, while the texture wasn’t bad I think the fact that it was made with mostly water, let ice crystals build up and it wasn’t as creamy as it should have been.
So next time I make gelato I will use the same recipe, except try using milk instead of water, I’ll keep the cream at the same amount and see what happens.
Can I Use an Ice Cream Maker to Make a Gelato Recipe?
Yes, you can. The difference between the two machines is gelato is churned at a much slower rate than ice cream, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than ice cream. The recipes generally use milk instead of cream allowing the flavor of the gelato to be more prominent.

Stephanie says
I have the kitchen aid ice cream maker attachment. Would that work as well? My first gelato was in venice and re creating it is very hard because I swear I had 18 scoops in one sitting. Please let me know if my machine would work. Thank you for sharing
Chef Dennis Littley says
that will work with this recipe. I know what you mean about gelato in Italy, it’s addictive!
Feri says
I made it with low-fat milk and a bit less sugar. It came out great! It froze in my ice cream machine in less than 10 mins. vey nice! Next I will try it with Mango. thank you for the recipe!
Chef Dennis Littley says
you’re welcome! and I’m happy to hear you adjusted the recipe to your preference. I hope you find more recipes to try
Frank Langheinrich says
I made the milk-based version. It was easy and the result was excellent.
zach says
so good
donna crews says
Wow, I made this for dinner tonight, and it was delicious! Thank you. How about a chocolate version!? 😉
Chef Dennis Littley says
I will work on one Donna. This version wouldn’t work as well for chocolate.
Fran says
Love your recipes so glad i stumbled upon them, could I use honey or maple instead of sugar, thanks for the great recipes
Ben K says
What a great recipe! We made this with fresh strawberries we picked from a farm. The strawberry flavor is amazingly intense. Tried it as written, with half and half instead of cream and water, and with cream and water depending on what we had on hand. Really didn’t notice any issues with ice crystals. Made it again with the same farm fresh strawberries that had been frozen. (We picked 10 lbs. of strawberries, so we made several batches). We used a blender instead of food processor. Also made a batch with peaches that was outstanding. Thanks for sharing this.
Kristen A says
I made this using 2% milk instead of water in my DeLonghi gelato maker. It was the perfect concoction. I substituted peaches instead of strawberries and it was just as good!
Chef Dennis Littley says
its a good basic recipe Kristen, I’ve used it to make many fruit gelato’s. Thanks for the great review and comment!
Cindy says
Yum,yum! So flavourful. Could I try changing out the strawberries for blueberries? What about a chocolate gelato?
Chef Dennis Littley says
you sure can, any fruit would work well with this recipe. I have never made chocolate gelato and this recipe would require quite a few changes to accomplish that to properly incorporate the chocolate.
Colleen Newtson says
What Gelato maker do you recommend?
Chef Dennis Littley says
there are links to two machines in the post
Dorothy Mauger says
This gelato is excellent! Possibly the best outside of Italy. I used 2% milk instead of water. Will make often!
Jeff Berman says
Holy cow, this was amazing!! I made it with low-fat milk instead of water, but otherwise followed the recipe. Best tasting strawberry gelato I’ve ever made and the easiest to make, too (no egg yolks to deal with and no simmering the milk). Oh, I guess I didn’t totally follow the recipe; we don’t have a food processor so the berries went into a blender.
Thank you, Chef Dennis — I’m definitely making this again!
Jennifer says
I love this recipe! No eggs, no cooking a custard, so easy and very good especially this time of year when we have great strawberries. Sometimes I substitute the sugar with a stevia blend for my mom who is pre-diabetic.
Lisa says
Do you need to use a ice cream maker?
Chef Dennis Littley says
this recipe wouldn’t work as well without an ice cream maker.
Maria says
Made a batch yesterday using milk instead of water, and it was absolutely delicious! Very easy to make and has the perfect amount of sweetness, everyone in the family enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂
Chef Dennis Littley says
you are very welcome Maria, its a versatile recipe and can be used with your favorite fruits! Thanks for the great review!
Helen says
Hi Dennis,
Have made this a couple of times and it is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Kind regards
Helen
Chef Dennis Littley says
you’re very welcome Helen, I’m happy to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
AJ says
I would like to thank you for the recipe, my children loves this so much, I made it with different fruits and it never fails. Thank you ever so much.
Chef Dennis Littley says
I’m very happy to hear that AJ. I love making different fruit flavors using this recipe!
ian mitchell says
Can’t wait to try.🍓🍍🍇🥭🥝🍒
Chef Amos Miller says
Hey there, Chef Dennis! – a great recipe – milk (I use organic whole) and I always stir gently when stirring – but I always use a wooden spoon – keeps the incorporation of air to a minimum. I always ‘kick it up a notch’ by adding a measure of Gran Marnier, which does not really affect flavor, but definitely it will inhibit ice crystals from forming.
I always have a 1/2 gallon in the freezer for unexpected company. Be well and keep on cookin’!
Mindy says
Can this recipe be used with other types of fruit? I have leftover cantaloupe and honeydew and was thinking of geloto
Chef Dennis Littley says
hi Mindy
this is a great base for just any type of fruit you’d like to use. I have made melon gelato before, they are generally not as flavorful but very refreshing.
Sue says
Hi
Can I use the same receipt to do a pistachio a Gelato?
Chef Dennis Littley says
yes you can but you’re going to have to make a pistachio paste to use with the recipe. Blanch peeled pistachios, dry with paper towels then pulse in food processor with the sugar from the recipe. Once the sugar and pistachios have been finely ground add in some of the milk to cream the mixture. It’s been a long time since I made pistachio gelato and that’s from memory. I have also made it using store bought pistachio paste.
Lynne says
Hi,
Does it matter what type of alcohol you use?
For instance, vodka vs. sweet Riesling .
Also, do you have a good French Basque cake recipe?
Thanks!
Chef Dennis Littley says
hi Lynne
riesling might not have enough alcohol in it to help. I would try vodka. At this time I have not tried any Basque cooking
Malini says
Made this last night. The strawberries were too tart so I cooked the chopped strawberries with the sugar for a few minutes, then blended it. I added milk as you suggested but made it in an Icecream maker. The taste and flavour is fantastic. The best I’ve ever eaten! The only issue was it had too many ice crystals. Would you have a work around for this?
Chef Dennis Littley says
I’m not sure how warm the cooked strawberry mixture was when you made the ice cream but that could have been the culprit.
To avoid ice crystals try making your mix ahead of time and refrigerating it for 12 -24 hours to get it very cold. Also chill the canister that the ice cream is being made in if possible by placing it in the freezer for 24 hours. Then place the finished ice cream in the coldest part of the freezer.
This will speed up the freezing process which should help reduce the ice crystals.
***adding an ounce of alcohol will also help reduce the ice crystals.
Shannon Welty says
We made a double batch of this for our Mother’s Day celebration and it was delicious. We used milk instead of water as you suggested, and churned it in our ice cream maker. The strawberries were perfectly ripe and that came across beautifully in the gelato. Thank you!
Chef Dennis Littley says
I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed my strawberry gelato recipe, its one of am all time favorite frozen desserts!
Shannon Welty says
I’d love to try a chocolate gelato recipe. Do you have one by chance?
Jo Austin says
Thank you for this delicious recipe I made it with water in a Cuisinart ice cream maker. I bought fresh strawberries and cut them up and froze them first to aid freezing. I also added a teaspoon of glucose to stop it getting to hard and I used icing sugar as it dissolves very easily. I think it was my strawberries but it came out a little bland – I’m wondering if I can change the 3/4 cup of water to 1/4 cup of water to intensify the strawberry flavour?
Chef Dennis Littley says
I don’t think changing the amount of water is the issue. When you used the powdered sugar, did you increase the amount? To equal 1 cup of granulated sugar for sweetness, you need to use 1.75 cups of powdered sugar. If the strawberries were not very flavorful the less amount of sugar would have been more noticeable causing the blandness.
I would suggest trying it with regular sugar and see how it comes out.
Jo Austin says
Thank you no I had no idea powdered sugar was less sweet – I will try with regular sugar.
I did make some nice gelato yesterday with 1lb of mixed blueberries and raspberries (strained), 1 cup of icing sugar and I used 1/2 cup of cream and 1/2 cup of milk – so slightly less liquid. I think the fruit was sweeter and had more flavour so it worked better and was a lovely intense colour. The mixture was a little thick though.
Roll on the fresh summer fruit!
Chef Dennis Littley says
Summer fruit is the best! It’s not that powdered sugar is less sweet its that the volume is different, so 1 cup of powdered sugar won’t be the same as one cup of granulated sugar
Have fun making frozen desserts!
Terri Street says
I love this gelato recipe and have used it for both strawberry and peach gelato. But my husband wants it sweeter. Can I add a little extra sugar without losing the correct fruit to sugar ratio so that the gelato doesn’t freeze properly? How much more sugar can I successfully add? I’d appreciate any help you can give me.
Chef Dennis Littley says
hi Terri
you can add extra sugar to the recipe. Adding more sugar will lower the freezing temp of the gelato a little keeping it a little softer, which is a good thing. As to how much more you can add I’m not really sure how sweet you want it but you could start by adding an additional 1/4 cup to see if that’s sweet enough for your husband. If not the next time try a little more.
Terri Street says
Thank you! I have read that the balance of sugar to fruit is very important and throw of the batch do wanted to check before trying it! Love your recipes!
Terri Street says
My husband, who treats me much better than I deserve, got me a gelato maker for Christmas. I have your strawberry gelato churning in the machine right now. I made it with milk rather than water as you suggested, and used whole frozen strawberries since the fresh ones just aren’t very flavorful right now. If the frozen gelato tastes as good as the leavings in the mixing bowl, I will be thrilled! I am seeing this same recipe made with peaches, blackberries, and maybe even apricots (probably will take a bit of extra sugar for these) in our future. Thank you for a wonderful recipe that I know I will use often.
Chef Dennis Littley says
I’m very happy to hear you got a gelato maker for Christmas and I’m sure your husband wishes he could do even more for you. I know that’s how I feel about my wife.
Thanks so much for trying my recipe and you can easily adapt it for just about any flavor you like! Have fun with your gelato maker!
Megan Davis says
Yummy! So simple, delicious and definitely easy to make. I’m out now to buy ingredients! 🙂 Thanks!
Chef Dennis Littley says
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did Megan!
Janice says
Just one word – yum! Thanks for sharing this super-simple recipe, Dennis!
Chef Dennis Littley says
you are very welcome Janice!
Kristin says
Will this still work in a traditional ice cream maker (cuisenart)? I realize the consistency won’t be quite the same, but I looked into Gelato makers, and the portions they make are just not enough to satisfy my family of five. In addition, my freezer wouldn’t be at the right temperature to store said gelato anyway. I have shied away from strawberry recipies for fear they wouldn’t freeze. My strawberry and cream (ice cream) recipe has the berries added in at the end for this reason. Would love to emulate the delicious berry gelato I enjoyed in Rome. Thankfully we have an authentic Italian born/trained gelato maker who owns a shop in our city, so I still get to enjoy good gelato.
Chef Dennis Littley says
hi Kristin
yes it will. It’s a very easy recipe to use and I’ve made many varieties using the base mix.
Yael says
Five stars: This is a fantastic recipe – I’ve made it a number of times and everyone loves it. Thank you for sharing it!
Chef Dennis Littley says
It is a easy and delicious recipe! Thanks so much for the feedback Yael!
msmolly says
Simple and quite delicious. Thanks!
Chef Dennis Littley says
Thank you for the feedback1
Sarah says
This is a wonderful recipe. Neither my husband or I really care for strawberry ice cream, so I’m not sure why we tried it. It was so great, I have made it 5 times now!
Chef Dennis Littley says
it really takes the ice cream to a new level! Thanks so much for letting me know Sarah and I’m very happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the recipe!
Chef says
The strawberry flavor is fantastic. I used water since I didn’t see the note, so my “gelato” is closer to a sorbet. If you really want a gelato, use milk as said in the note.
Cecilio Lecusay says
The recipe for this Gelato specify 2 Tablespoon of lemon Juice but what to do with it is omitted in the instructions. Where to put the lemon juice is the question
Chef Dennis says
thanks for pointing that out, it should go into food processor with the strawberries
Fred says
Hi Dennis. Love the fact that you have put a great deal of effort nto tracking down an authentic repipe. You mention in your blurb that it should use milk not cream, but the recipe you have chosen has cream no milk? Also you suggest that milk instead of water may be better. Did you actually try this yet? A little confusing. Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers and thanks.
Chef D says
hi Fred
what I meant about the cream is not using all cream, its still good to have some cream in this recipe if you are using water. Yes I have made this using milk instead of water and it does improve the texture, it is my preferred method now. And by using all milk I have eliminated the cream altogether for most of my flavors. I have a few other types flavors of Gelato on my blog, if your’e looking for more ideas.
Thanks for stopping by and for asking about the recipe
Dennis

lovely gelato post! that first pic is so cuddly! loved that air-no air trivia! gosh, you really have so much gelato!
Liz says
I ate coffee gelato all over Italy, but my attempts at home have been less than stellar. Now I know the reason….I need a gelato maker! It may be on my Christmas list 🙂 Great advice as always, both on gelato and photography. Hope you have some time to relax this weekend~
[email protected] says
I so agree, anytime is gelato time while in Italy. I have never come across anything close to it in North America. I also had excellent gelato in Athens once which surprised me. I learned a lot here about what makes gelato a gelatoo…never researched it. Keep at it until it is perfect, that just means you have to eat more almost gelato 😉
Sprigs of Rosemary says
I never fail to learn something when I visit — and I never fail to salivate either! Love gelato! Bravo, Chef Dennis!
Baker Street says
Refreshing! So refreshing! Your gelato looks perfect D! 🙂
Elies_Lie says
lovely strawberry ice cream chef!
tq for sharing the recipe and tq for the photography suggestion 🙂
Jessica | Oh Cake says
Oooh… gelato! What memories this brings back from living in Bologna. My favorite place was Gelatauro. Thanks for the tips on photography as well.
The Mom Chef ~ Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time says
I also remember the gelato in Italy. Heck, I remember everything about Italy and miss it immensely. I sorry that the recipe didn’t end up as hoped, but it is incredibly gorgeous. I’m curious to hear how it turns out once you substitute milk for the water. Cheers, my friend.
Kim - Liv Life says
I’m not a huge ice cream fan, but that being said, I’m VERY eager to try the gelato on our upcoming trip to Italy!! I am a big fan of the full flavors that you describe, and I’m eager to experience the texture. I love the fruit here, the strawberry is one of my favorite flavors, and the idea of the intense flavor is very appealing, more fruit, less… well, less fake flavor that I find in the store here.
I so with I was going to meet with you all at the Foodbuzz Festival! I promised myself last year that I would attend this year, but I guess it will have to be next year. Congratulations on the award nominations, Dennis! So well deserved!!!
Elizabeth @Mango_Queen says
Oh I loved having GELATO every single day when we were in Rome! I’m so glad to see this recipe. Must try this one. Hope I can make it as good as the one in this photo! Thanks for sharing, Chef Dennis!
Lisa @ Tarte du Jour says
The gelato looks soooo delicious! Admittedly a good gelato is my vice. Love the photography tips too!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
Now you have me wanting to get a gelato maker!! Thanks so much for your helpful tips. I just got the Plate to Pixel book for my birthday and have been reading it. So much to learn!!
Lauren @ KeepItSweet says
These are some very helpful tips! I have a great tripod but am sometimes to lazy to use it, I really need to change that.
I’ll be at Foodbuzz, hope I get to meet you:-)

Great advice on cameras Dennis. Thank you! I know I need a new camera as well as time to gain more skill.
As for the gelato, I have tried Gelato once and for some reason I keep returning to ice cream instead. I have this weird idea that gelato won’t be as flavorful…. I soooo need to try this because looking at it, I think it will prove me wrong.
[email protected] says
What a beautiful gelato….gorgeous color! And thank you so much for sharing your photography tips. I’m going to look into your light source since the weather is eventually going to force me to shoot more indoors! Great post!
Vibey @ Yumbo McGillicutty! says
That looks wonderful! And how could you go wrong with a recipe of Giuliano’s? (As an aside, the only chocolate ice cream I ever bother making is from a recipe of Marcella’s. It’s the only one I need.)
Bestfoodies says
Dennis, this looks so good, I have never made gelato before but now I seriously want to try it. I am pinning this right on Pinterest…thanks so much!
Mari @ Mari's Cakes says
Your gelato looks delicious!! I am sure it tastes as good as it looks. I would love to make this recipe.
[email protected] kitcheninspirations.wordpress.com/ says
I always think of my childhood visits to Budapest; the Hungarians also make a gelato-like ice cream that was just wild with flavour. Unbelievable flavour that no North American ice cream could even come close to. Strawberry was my favourite. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Jen says
The texture of real gelato just can’t be beat. But if you wanted to keep the sorbet thing going, this recipe looks like it would be delicious with a nice German Reisling instead of the water…
Kimmi says
If I wasn’t allergic to strawberries I would jump on this like a cat on a mouse.
[email protected] says
Nice tips and links here in regards to photography-much appreciated. Also, your strawberry gelato looks amazing.
Cassie l Bake Your Day says
Great tips! And this gelato sounds wonderful. I love it and sounds very simple to make!
RavieNomNoms says
Gelato is the best! I love how rich and creamy it is compared to ice cream just like you said. I think that gelato is much more friendly to the hips too, I have no real justification for that haha…just that I like it more so that is what I tell myself when I eat it ;-). Your gelato looks fantastic Chef! The color is amazing and I am sure the texture is amazing
Kelly says
Mmmm your strawberry gelato looks amazing and I always LOVE when you share your tips and tricks with photography! 🙂
Dionne Baldwin says
I don’t know how you can make frozen treats look good! I’m not even close to there yet. I LOVE gelato. In fact, I don’t even mind that this is strawberry flavored! I have to try this at my house. I think everyone will be a huge fan.
I’m off to find that book. I need some “help” with my lack of photography skills. I know that your advice has helped me in huge amounts. When I gave in and used a tripod I was amazed at how much clearer my photos turned out. 🙂
Thank you for all that you do for the food community, Dennis. I hope you are having a good week!
Nash at Plateful says
I totally love gelato and particularly the strawberry flavor. You know, the Indian version of gelato is kulfi. Very rich and creamy and traditionally made without any air. If you ask me, totally decadent. As for the photography, it’s true that you can produce good images with just a P&S. I personally don’t own any fancy gears (D-SLR, tripod), but I sure wish I had an SLR for better quality images. Btw, buzzed!
Curt says
Something I still need to try! My daughter lived in Italy for 3 years and always raved about how much more flavorful Gelato is than American ice creams.
JeannieP says
It looked so good I almost licked my laptop’s screen!
The Kitchen Noob says
I’ve actually made a pair of lightboxes from http://bsinthekitchen.com/?p=829 and while they do shed light on the subject, I also have a few complaints…
If you’re going to make these, you’ll probably need 3-4 otherwise you get bad shadows depending on how you angle the lights. The size of these boxes is cumbersome if you have limited workspace – I often struggle to get enough light into my photograph without actually having the box in the photo. Also, while the mesh has a structural role it also absorbs a lot of the light from the bulbs. I even used a twin socket adapter within and my photos still came out very dark.
I’ve recently been working with compact fluorescent bulbs screwed into clamp lights. It works really well in the lighting department, and the clamps make the lights versatile as far as location. The only downside is the glare I get from reflective surfaces like plates, but I suppose I could build something out of dowel rods and tissue papers to diffuse the light.
Kim Bee says
This looks so good. Sadly I’ve never had a true gelato so I’m not sure I’d know the difference in taste. One day I’ll get to try the real deal. I am happy to know the gelato machine works well. I was scoping it out online one day. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet though. I always appreciate the advice you offer here. I’d be lost without your “ask Chef Dennis” series. I am still using my yucky kodak easyshare. It’s the nicer model but it’s still ancient and not up to snuff. But I am determined to learn to use it well before I invest in a nicer camera. I have to say I loved my Bro’s Rebel when he visited. But I’ve also eyed the Nikon one The Pioneer Woman recommends. I want to go to the camera store one day when I have some free time (falls down laughing) and try them all out. See how they feel as well as function. Like buying a drill, if it doesn’t feel right I don’t want it. Lol! You should see how much research I put into picking my sander, if it’s any indication of the camera buying process this could take awhile. See, us girls like toys too. Lol! I wish I was going to the foodbuzz thing. Take lots of pics!!
Ann says
Hi there Chef Dennis! GREAT information! I remember the gelato in Sicily – it was amazing! I think my favorite had roasted espresso beans in it. I could only find it in the Piazza across from St. Agatha’s Cathedral in Catania. It was amazing!
OfBaking says
Thank you! I always had a general idea, but I never knew exactly what made gelato, well, gelato. Thanks for this post and for reminding me of Italy.
