Time 1h5m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups whole milk, divided
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
kosher salt, a pinch
1 tablespoon pure mexican vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine 2 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to steam; watch it carefully and make sure it does not come to a boil.
  • While the mixture heats, combine the remaining milk, milk powder, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, and stir until smooth and both of the powders are dissolved.
  • Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Whisk the mixture until smooth, and simmer the mixture over very low heat, stirring constantly , for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  • If mixture is lumpy, strain it through a sieve.
  • Transfer the hot liquid to a storage container and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Refrigerate the mixture uncovered until it is completely chilled (below 40°).
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Serve immediately for a soft gelato, or transfer the mixture to an airtight storage container and freeze until hard.
  • Allow the gelato to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if frozen solid.
