Classic Vanilla Bean Gelato

sugar

vanilla bean, (split lengthwise)

In a medium saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it just starts to bubble around the edge (no need to bring it to a boil). Remove from the heat and reserve.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl if you’re using a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is thick and creamy (about 2 minutes at medium speed). With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in one ladleful of the hot milk into the egg mixture. Slowly pour in the rest of the mixture and beat until the milk is well incorporated.

Pour the milk and egg mixture back into the saucepan, add the vanilla bean, and place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon.

Remove from the heat. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours, or preferably overnight to infuse the custard with a deeper vanilla flavor.

Fish the vanilla bean out of the custard, then pour the custard through a fine mesh strainer into the bowl of an ice cream maker (straining the mixture will ensure a silky smooth gelato). Freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Stop the machine when the gelato is icy but still soft.

Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about two hours.

STORAGE: The gelato will keep, frozen, for up to 1 month.

SERVING: Always take the gelato out to room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before serving to soften it and make it easier to scoop.

VARIATIONS: Use this versatile base to make a variety of gelato flavors, such as Pistachio, Raspberry Rose, Blueberry, or Cherry and Raspberry Ripple!

MAKE IT DAIRY-FREE: Use lactose-free milk or oat milk instead of regular dairy milk.

This Italian Gelato recipe is made from scratch using all-natural ingredients, whole milk, heavy cream, egg yolk, vanilla and sugar. You can make vanilla as a base and add ingredients to make different gelato flavors. I make pistachio and chocolate here, but I also include the instructions to make coffee, tea, almond, hazelnut, walnut, or chestnut gelato. Create the flavors you like, keep them in the home freezer, and serve them with a biscuit during the hot summer days.

I never thought of adding vodka to sorbet, sounds so good!
