How to cook deliciously - Gelato
1. Stage
Mix milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Warm until foam forms around the edges. Remove from heat.
2. Stage
Beat egg yolks and sugar until frothy in a large bowl. Gradually pour the warm milk into egg yolks and sugar, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture gels slightly and coats the back of the spoon. If small egg lumps begin to show, remove from heat immediately.
3. Stage
Pour the mixture through a sieve or fine strainer into a bowl. Cover, and chill for several hours or overnight.
4. Stage
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a sealed container, and freeze until firm. If the gelato is too firm, place it in the refrigerator until it reaches the desired consistency.
