Preparation of Gelato Base
1. Heat the Milk and Cream
In a saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.
2. Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and creamy.
3. Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
4. Cook the Custard
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Add Flavoring
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the base to cool, then refrigerate until chilled.
Churning and Freezing
6. Churn the Gelato
Once the base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7. Add Flavorings
During the last few minutes of churning, add your desired flavoring (fruit puree, melted chocolate, Nutella, or coffee).
8. Freeze the Gelato
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
