CUSTARD GELATO
This recipe uses egg yolks to create an extra creamy and
custard-like flavor.
Makes about 6 cups (twelve ½-cup servings)
1
cup heavy cream
2
cups whole milk, divided
2
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼
teaspoon sea or kosher salt
2
tablespoons cornstarch
6
large egg yolks
¾
cup granulated sugar
1. Put heavy cream and 1¾ cups milk together with the vanilla and salt into a
saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix together well the remaining
milk with the cornstarch and reserve.
2. While the cream mixture is heating, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together
really well until pale and thick. Place bowl on a dampened towel on the
countertop.
3. Once the cream mixture comes to a simmer, stir in the milk/cornstarch mixture
well and continue to stir over heat for an additional five minutes, being sure
mixture does not come to a full boil.
4. Whisking continuously very slowly pour all of the hot liquid into the yolk/sugar
mixture. Return mixture to the saucepan over heat and whisk for about 5
minutes and then strain into a clean mixing bowl. Allow to cool to room
temperature before covering and refrigerating overnight.
5. Pour the mixture into the mixing bowl of the Cuisinart
fitted with the gelato and sorbet paddle. Turn unit on, set Timer, and press
Start/Stop. Let mix until thickened, about 30 to 40 minutes. The gelato will
have a soft, creamy texture. Serve or store in airtight container in freezer.
