Strawberry Cake Batter Gelato
Serves 1320 mins prep0 mins cook
If you've ever had a strawberry Cream Saver hard candy, then just imagine that flavor but in frozen form. I used my standard gelato base recipe to start off and then infused it with flavor with dry white cake mix and (thawed) frozen strawberries. The cake mix adds a sweetness to the gelato that is complimented by the subtle sweetness of the frozen berries.

Instructions
0 In a saucepan combine granulated sugar ([adjustable]½ cup), dry boxed white cake mix (¾ cup), and whole milk (1 cup). Whisk in eggs (2 large[/adjustable]) and place over medium heat until steaming (6-8 minutes), while stirring constantly. 1 Once steaming, remove from heat and stir in heavy whipping cream ([adjustable]1 ¼ cups), strawberry puree (see notes), and vanilla extract (1 ½ teaspoons[/adjustable]). 2 Place mixture in glass bowl and cover with saran wrap. Place in refrigerator for 3-4 hours until thoroughly cooled. 3 Pour mixture in and churn until gelato becomes a soft-serve consistency. (Because gelato is egg-based, it will not crystallize or get as hard as much as normal ice cream.) 4 Top with fresh berries, white chocolate curls, or toppings of your choice!View original recipe
