How Do You Make Homemade Gelato Ice Cream?
Gelato is an Italian dessert that is similar to ice cream, but is denser and made with whole milk instead of cream. There is no gelatin in traditional gelato, but it has been used in some recipes. In Italy, gelato shops known as “gelaterias” sell this icy treat to passers by. Like ice cream, you can serve gelato in a cup or cone. If dished into a bowl, one or two cookies might be added for garnish. Follow these directions to create the basic custard mix for your gelato. The plain custard flavor is traditional, but you can follow the tips for possible additions to make your own flavors. You then put the mixture into an ice cream freezer and freeze according to the directions on that particular model. If your ice cream freezer requires that the core dish is frozen, be sure to put it into the freezer the day before making the gelato. Combine the egg yolks and sugar with a whisk in the 6 cup capacity bowl. Pour the milk into the saucepan and heat over medium until the milk begins to boil.
