To assemble
Instructions
To make the cherry puree: Place the cherries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small
saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the
cherries are soft and the mixture has thickened. Puree using a stand blender, a stick blender, or
a food processor. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until completely cool.
To make the raspberry puree: Place the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small
saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the
cherries are soft and the mixture has thickened. Puree using a stand blender, a stick blender, or
a food processor. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until completely cool.
To make the gelato: Make the custard for the gelato base of your choosing (either Classic Vanilla
Bean Gelato or Sicilian-Style Vanilla Bean Gelato), and refrigerate overnight. Fish the vanilla bean
out of the custard, then pour the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a large mixing bowl
(straining the mixture will ensure a silky smooth gelato).
Pour half of the cherry puree and half of the raspberry puree into the custard base and whisk to
combine. Transfer to the bowl of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Stop the machine when the gelato is icy but still soft.
To assemble the gelato: Spread a third of the frozen gelato into the bottom of a large airtight
container (or a cute serving dish large enough to hold the full 2-qt (2 L) batch of gelato). Drizzle
two-thirds of the remaining cherry puree, and sprinkle with two-thirds of the diced cherries. Add
another layer of gelato, then drizzle with two-thirds of the raspberry puree, and sprinkle with two-
thirds of the crushed raspberries. Top with the remaining gelato, then drizzle the top with the
remaining fruit purees and fresh fruit.
Freeze until firm, about two hours. The gelato will keep, frozen, for up to two weeks. Always take
the gelato out to room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before serving to soften it and make it easier
to scoop.
