Cinnamon Gelato Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

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

2. 2

   Add Cinnamon

   Add the ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture, stirring well to combine. Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling.

3. 3

   Whisk Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Temper the Egg Yolks

   Slowly pour about a cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them. Then, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.

5. 5

   Cook the Mixture

   Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

6. 6

   Cool and Flavor

   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. 7

   Churn the Gelato

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

8. 8

   Freeze

   Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
