House Made Gelato And Cookies Recipe

Gelato Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Base

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

2. 2

   Whisk in Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour in about a half cup of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yolks. Then slowly whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan.

3. 3

   Cook the Mixture

   Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and your chosen flavoring.

4. 4

   Cool and Freeze

   Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Once chilled, churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
