1
Make the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is steaming, but not boiling.
2
Whisk Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and frothy. Slowly pour in a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
3
Combine Mixtures
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4
Cool and Flavor
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
5
Churn the Gelato
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6
Freeze and Serve
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. Scoop and enjoy!
