A delightful and creamy gelato recipe that captures the essence of Italian treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg yolks

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dairy: In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and half of the sugar. Heat until steaming, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves thoroughly.
  2. Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
  3. Temper the Egg Yolks: Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Thicken the Mixture: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring continuously.
  5. Add the Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain through a sieve if desired.
  6. Chill the Mixture: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  7. Churn the Gelato: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Freeze Until Firm: Pour the churned gelato into a container and freeze until firm, usually 2-4 hours.

Notes

Serve with fresh fruit or a warm chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
