Flavoring Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Base
Combine Milk and Cream
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Mix Sugar and Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 4 egg yolks until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Cook the Mixture
Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Flavoring and Chilling
Add Espresso and Flavorings
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 cup of espresso coffee, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Cool the Mixture
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churning and Freezing
Churn the Mixture
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze the Gelato
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
