Presentation
A dessert made from a gelato produced with milk, cream, sugar, and pear, swirled with chocolate.

Ingredients

• 300 g of milk
• 165 g of cream
• 100 g of pear
• 75 g of sugar

For the swirl:

• Cocoa dissolved in milk with or without sugar (bitter is better) or melted dark chocolate.

Preparation

1. Combine the sugar, cream, and milk in a mixing bowl.
2. Stir well.
3. Wash a pear, peel it, and cut 100 g into pieces, then add directly into the mixture. This minimizes oxidation without using lemon, which would change the flavor.
4. Blend the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the pear is well blended.
5. Turn on the ice cream maker and churn for 30-40 minutes.
6. While the gelato is churning, prepare a chocolate sauce with cocoa and milk or melt some dark chocolate.
7. When the gelato is ready, prepare the bowls and swirl in the chocolate sauce.
