Seasonal Gelato And Sorbet Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Making Gelato Base

   In a saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

2. 2

   Mixing Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale. Gradually add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.

3. 3

   Combining Mixtures

   Slowly pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. 4

   Flavoring Gelato

   Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

5. 5

   Making Sorbet Base

   For sorbet, blend fresh seasonal fruit with lemon juice and sugar until smooth. Strain if desired.

6. 6

   Churning

   Once both mixtures are chilled, churn them in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until they reach a soft-serve consistency.

7. 7

   Freezing

   Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
