Honey Gelato Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Gelato Base

   In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, honey, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved. Do not let it boil.

2. 2

   Whisk the Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.

3. 3

   Temper the Egg Yolks

   Slowly pour a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Gradually add the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

4. 4

   Cook the Mixture

   Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Chill the Mixture

   Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.

6. 6

   Churn the Gelato

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

7. 7

   Freeze the Gelato

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

8. 8

   Serve and Enjoy

   Scoop the honey gelato into bowls and drizzle with additional honey if desired. Enjoy!
