Masala Chai Gelato

Spice Cake

Salted Rum Caramel

Vanilla Chantilly

Method

Masala Chai Gelato

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is steaming.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Chai

    Add the masala chai tea bags to the warm milk mixture and let steep for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale. Gradually add in some of the warm milk mixture to temper the yolks.

  4. 4

    Combine and Cook

    Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).

  5. 5

    Chill and Churn

    Remove from heat and strain to remove tea bags. Cool the mixture completely, then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Make Caramel

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