Gelato Ingredients

Method

Gelato Directions

1

Prepare the Base

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, and sugar over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2

Whisk in Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale. Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

3

Cook the Mixture

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.

4

Chill the Mixture

Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5

Churn the Gelato

Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

6

Freeze

Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
