Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Mix the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is completely chilled.

  3. 3

    Churn the Gelato

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

  4. 4

    Freeze

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Scoop the gelato into bowls or cones and enjoy! Rotate flavors by adding different mix-ins or flavorings during the churning process.
