Ube Coconut Gelato
In Ice Cream

Ube Coconut Gelato


I made this back in October for Halloween. It’s Ube S’mores Gelato👻 I hadn’t posted the recipe back when I originally posted this. The Ube coconut gelato base is very versatile. Feel free to ask any questions. The use of purple sweet potatoes replicates the flavour of Ube very well combined with the extract it’s spot on. If you enjoyed give me a follow and follow my food brand (@mmmumai) I plan to be posting a lot of recipes that people can replicate at home. Been making ice cream and sorbet for nearly 6 years at this point it’s a science to me

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar (1/4 coconut/turbinado)
  • 100g desiccated unsweetened coconut (Toasted till uniformly brown)
  • 170g Purple Sweet Potato (roasted n mashed)
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 2 tsp Ube extract
  • 2 Tbs Condensed Milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Soy Letchin
  • 1/4 tsp Tara Gum(Can substitute Guar)
  • Pinch Sea Salt

Method

  1. Roast Purple sweet potatoes at 400F for a hour until soft. Once roasted scoop out flesh and measure 170g
  2. Toast desiccated coconut at 350F for 10-15 mins until all is golden. Give mix at 10 to ensure toasting evenly
  3. Combine Milk, yolk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, soy letchin, Tara gum, condensed milk and ube extract with emulsion blender. ( can use blender or just whisk everything by hand so uniform)
  4. Prepare ice bath
  5. Cook mixture on low/medium heat in sauce pan(double boiler is easiest alternative) constantly whisking till temperature gets to 160F/ 75 C
  6. On reaching target of 160F remove pot from stove and place immediately in the ice bath. Add pinch of salt
  7. Whilst in the ice bath whisk in the heavy cream
  8. Once mixture is warm and cooled below 120F/50C add in sweet potatoes puree and then use an emulsion blender to blend smooth.
  9. Add toasted desiccated coconut to base
  10. Chill base for at least 6 hours to overnight. Can chill for 12 hours +
  11. After chilling base blend mixture again then strain the base
  12. Churn strained base

Notes

  • Can add cinnamon stick to base whilst chilling
  • Can replace heavy cream and whole milk for full fat coconut cream and coconut milk
  • Can add a tsp or Tbs of liqueur I like to add Kahula
