Gelato

Gelato is Italian ice cream made from milk and sugar and combined with either fruit, chocolate or nuts. The ingredients are combined and stirred while frozen to create a more dense product.

1. 2 cups of milk
2. 1 cup of heavy cream
3. 4 egg yolks
4. 1/2 cup of sugar

In a saucepan mix the milk and heavy cream. Warm until foam forms and then remove from heat. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. Slowly pour the warm milk into the eggs and begin whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring with a spoon until the mixture gels slightly. Remove the mixture from heat and pour through a strainer into a bowl. Cover and chill for two hours. Take cool mixture and put into an ice cream maker and freeze until firm. If gelato is too firm place in a refrigerator for desired consistency. -Recipe from AllRecipes.com
