1
Prepare the Coffee Mixture
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2
Incorporate Coffee
Add the instant coffee granules to the warm milk mixture, stirring until fully dissolved.
3
Mix Egg Yolks
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and a pinch of salt until they are pale and creamy.
4
Temper the Egg Yolks
Slowly pour about half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
5
Combine Mixtures
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
6
Add Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
7
Chill the Mixture
Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8
Churn the Gelato
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
9
Freeze
Transfer the gelato to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
