The Creamy Base
Ingredients:
3 cups of whole milk
1 cup of heavy cream
1 vanilla bean
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
6 egg yolks
For the creamy base of this Italian crema gelato, we will use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream. This will give the gelato its signature smooth and creamy texture. To add a touch of sweetness, we will use granulated sugar, which will also help prevent the gelato from freezing too hard. And for added flavor, we will infuse the base with a vanilla bean.
To start, pour the milk and heavy cream into a saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. While it's heating up, split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and the vanilla bean pod to the milk mixture. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until it becomes a pale yellow color. Gradually pour in the hot milk mixture, stirring constantly. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling. Once fully combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the mixture from heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or pieces of vanilla bean. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churning and Freezing
Ingredients:
Chilled creamy base
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar
Once the creamy base is chilled, it's time to churn and freeze it. This process will give the gelato its smooth and creamy texture. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the chilled creamy base until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming. When the gelato is firm but still scoopable, it's ready to be served.
Pro Tip: For an extra decadent treat, add in your favorite mix-ins such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit.
Now that you have the perfect Italian crema gelato recipe, it's time to enjoy this delicious frozen dessert. Serve it in a cone, a cup, or use it to make a refreshing affogato. No matter how you serve it, this creamy and flavorful gelato will surely be a hit with everyone.
