Method

Gelato Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Custard Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and thick. Gradually pour in the hot milk mixture while whisking continuously to temper the yolks.

  3. 3

    Cook the Custard

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-8 minutes).

  4. 4

    Add Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled (at least 4 hours or overnight).

Chocolate Flavor Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate. Stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.

  2. 6

    Combine with Custard

    Once the gelato base is chilled, stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined. Process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Salted Caramel Flavor Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Caramel

    In a saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns a deep amber color.

  2. 8

    Add Butter and Cream

    Remove from heat and carefully stir in the unsalted butter until melted, then gradually whisk in the heavy cream. Add sea salt and mix until smooth.

  3. 9

    Combine with Custard

    Once the gelato base is chilled, swirl in the salted caramel mixture. Process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
