Gelato

Method

Making the Gelato

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and thick. Slowly add the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the yolks.

  3. 3

    Combine and Cook

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes).

  4. 4

    Chill and Freeze

    Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let it cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Assembling the Sundae

  1. 5

    Scoop the Gelato

    Scoop the prepared vanilla gelato into serving bowls.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle chocolate syrup over the gelato, add chopped nuts if desired, and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
