Crema Gelato
Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1
Begin by placing milk in a saucepan and adding sugar and egg yolks. Combine these ingredients thoroughly using a whisk to ensure they are well incorporated.
2
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring it gently with a spatula as it comes to a boil. Continue cooking until the custard reaches a steaming-hot consistency and thickens to coat the back of a spoon, requiring approximately 10 minutes.
3
At this point, stir in heavy cream and add salt to the mixture. Remove it from heat immediately.
4
Transfer the custard through a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids and refrigerate it until completely chilled, allowing it to sit for 8 hours or overnight.
5
Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and follow its manufacturer's instructions to churn it, taking around 20 minutes.
6
Once the churning process is complete, seal the top of the mixture with plastic wrap and cover it with a lid. Place it in the freezer to firm up, requiring at least 4 hours.
7
Finally, transfer the frozen mixture to an airtight container and store it in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
