Salted Caramel Gelato Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Gelato Base

   In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.

2. 2

   Temper the Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the yolks while whisking continuously to temper them. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk mixture.

3. 3

   Cook the Mixture

   Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not let it boil.

4. 4

   Add Salt and Vanilla

   Remove from heat, add the salt and vanilla extract, and stir to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

5. 5

   Chill the Mixture

   Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.

6. 6

   Churn the Gelato

   Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

7. 7

   Add Salted Caramel

   Transfer the gelato to a container, layering with salted caramel sauce as you go. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.

8. 8

   Freeze

   Freeze the gelato for at least 2 hours before serving to firm up.
