Mango Gelato
"While not as satiny smooth as fine gelato from an upscale ice cream shop, this homemade version of Italy's signature ice cream is absolutely delicious. Surprisingly, although it seems rich, it's much lower in fat than American ice cream. Make it with fat-free half & half, and it will be lower still — an ideal choice for those counting calories and missing their high-fat traditional ice cream...."
INGREDIENTS
•
about 5 cups coarsely chopped fresh mango, or frozen mango chunks

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice

1 2/3 cups half & half; fat-free is fine

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder or granules*
•
1/8 teaspoon salt
•
2 large egg yolks

*Baker's Special Dry Milk is NOT a good choice here, as it doesn't readily dissolve in liquid; save it for your bread-baking.1
