1
Heat Dairy Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Place over medium heat and warm until just beginning to steam, but do not let it boil.
2
Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and pale in color.
3
Combine Mixtures
Gradually pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs. Once combined, return the mixture to the saucepan.
4
Cook the Mixture
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Add Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6
Cool the Base
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

7
Melt the Flavoring
If using chocolate, melt it in a microwave or double boiler until smooth, then let it cool slightly.
8
Combine Flavor with Base
Once the base is sufficiently chilled, stir in the melted chocolate (or your chosen flavoring) until fully incorporated.
9
Churn the Gelato
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
10
Freeze the Gelato
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
