Best Creamy Gelato Recipes

CREAMY CHOCOLATE GELATO

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath, and set aside. In a large saucepan, bring the milk, cream, and cocoa to a simmer over medium-low heat. Combine the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on medium speed until pale yellow and very thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add half the milk mixture to the yolk mixture, and whisk until blended. Stir combined mixture back into remaining milk mixture. Add the chocolate, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Pass the mixture through a very fine sieve into a large mixing bowl. Set the bowl in the ice bath, and chill completely. Freeze in an ice-cream maker, according to manufacturer's instructions, until gelato just holds its shape. Transfer to a metal loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

CREAMY GELATO

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat the milk and cream and reduce over medium heat until 2 cups remain. In a large bowl, using a whisk, beat the sugar with the egg yolks until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• Heat the mixture over simmering water, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the spoon. Make sure not to overheat or let the mixture coagulate. When thickened remove the bowl from the heat and continue stirring for a minute to ensure the mixture is uniformly cooked. Let cool to room temperature, refrigerate, covered, until completely cold, preferably overnight.
• Process the mixture in an ice cream freezer following the manufacturers instructions. Serve immediately.
