Total Time: 50 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until it starts to steam, but avoid boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until well combined.
- Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the churned gelato to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Serve the English gelato in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
