This Gelato definitely deserves 10 stars. It was sooo rich and a chocolate lover's dream dessert. My hubsand isn't a big on sweets and rich desserts but loved this. He said this was a keeper. Also the kids loved it. The only things I did different was substitute Hazelnut syrup for the Frangelico, as suggested my Lavender Lynn and made my own biscotti "Hazelnut Biscotti" #20614 by Karin Made for ZWT 4 The Mamma Mias!

Talk about sinful!!!!!!!! This stuff is amazing! A chocoholics dream! Made this morning so that it would have time to set up in the freezer. Of course I licked the beaters and scraped out every bit I could from the freezer bowl. Would have licked that too but was afraid my tongue would stick to it :lol: Thanks so much for sharing!

this is delicious, I didn't have an ice cream maker so I would manually mix it every now and then. Then, as soon as the 4 hours was up and the mixture had a gelato consistency, we ate it right away. So chocolaty creamy. I didn't add the biscotti as I didn't have it on hand but nevertheless, we enjoyed having this. Also, I just thawed it again from the freezer after another few hours for another serving. Thank you, Mersaydees. Tagged this from Maito's best of 2008 cookbook for the best of 2008 tag game.

Wow, this IS a chocolate lovers dream! I thought the serving size seemed small until we started eating it, it is very rich! I did what it is normal for me for making ice creams/gelatos: used egg yolks instead of whole eggs, all milk, tempered the eggs, and added the Frangelico after it is off the heat. I subbed amaretti for the biscotti (estimated 12 would equal about 2 biscotti). I also used 6 tablespoons of the Frangelico, it wasn't too much, still quite subtle. I thought the amount of sugar was just right, and I don't like things too sweet. This is like a fudgey bittersweet brownie!
