Coffee Gelato With Orange Zest
"Caffè Gelato con Buccia d'Arancia. A traditional gelato with the refreshing flavours of espresso and oranges.
I whipped up this recipe as a way to use up some whole milk on a hot spring day. You'll need some sort of ice cream maker to freeze this properly. The ground espresso adds a speckled colour and interesting texture, but is optional."

Wonderful combo of flavors but didn't harden up as much as I would have liked. Made for PAC 2012

<p>Cooking is my stress reliever. I have an intense interest in fresh, healthy, and delicious foods, and have been known to talk about exceptional produce ad nauseum. I tend to eschew processed foods, (except sometimes in desserts), and wish fervently that I had a vegetable and herb garden. Someday I would like to have my own vineyard, perhaps when I retire. </p>
