Gelato And Sorbet Recipe

Gelato Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Base

   In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling.

2. 2

   Whisk Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale. Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to temper the yolks, whisking constantly.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. 4

   Add Flavoring

   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and your choice of seasonal flavoring. Let the mixture cool.

5. 5

   Chill and Churn

   Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. Then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. 6

   Freeze and Serve

   Transfer the gelato to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
