Gelato Ingredients
Method
Gelato Directions
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.
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.
Chill the Mixture
Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
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.
Freeze
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
