Gelato Ingredients

Method

Gelato Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Custard Base

    In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Do not bring it to a boil.

  2. 2

    Temper the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 170°F).

  4. 4

    Chill and Churn

    Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Once chilled, churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Sorbet Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the fruit puree, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Blend until smooth.

  3. 7

    Chill and Freeze

    Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and freeze for about 2 hours. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals until it reaches a smooth consistency.
