Gelato Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

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

2. 2

   Mix Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and thick. Slowly pour in the warm milk mixture while continuously whisking to temper the yolks.

3. 3

   Cook the Mixture

   Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. 4

   Cool and Flavor

   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Divide the base into three equal parts and mix in each flavor: coconut, espresso, and pistachio paste. Add salt to taste.

5. 5

   Chill

   Cover each flavor mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

6. 6

   Churn

   Churn each flavor in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

7. 7

   Freeze

   Transfer the gelato to airtight containers and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
