Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Crema Gelato.
Step 1
Begin by pouring whole milk into a saucepan, then add 2/3 cup of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of sugar along with the egg yolks.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture vigorously until it is well blended.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently with a spatula.
Step 4
Cook the custard until it becomes steaming hot and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in heavy cream and kosher salt until everything is fully combined.
Step 6
To ensure a silky texture, strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding any lumps.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool before refrigerating it until completely chilled, which may take anywhere from 8 hours to overnight.
Step 8
When you're ready to indulge, pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20 minutes.
Step 9
After churning, cover the top with plastic wrap, secure it with a lid, and freeze the gelato until it is firm, allowing at least 4 hours before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful creaminess of your homemade gelato, a perfect treat for any occasion.
