Prepare the base for Apricot Gelato: infuse, blend or whisk the dairy, fruit, sugar and flavourings until fully combined. Chill until very cold before freezing.
Churn the Apricot Gelato in an ice cream machine until softly frozen, or use a no-churn method and fold the base gently before freezing. Add ripples or chunks near the end.
Pack the Apricot Gelato into a freezer container, cover the surface and freeze until firm. Temper for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Store in a sealed freezer-safe container at about -18°C. Press parchment onto the surface to reduce ice crystals and use within 2–4 weeks for best texture.
Make the base the day before where possible, chill thoroughly, then churn or freeze. Rest at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Freeze until firm. For no-churn versions, fold the flavourings through softly whipped cream and condensed milk, then freeze in a shallow container.
