Gelato is also churned at a slower pace, so it has less air and is denser than ice cream<\/em>. Cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-7188ff2b-6a3a-4140-9023-c9f40519edf6\"><strong>INGREDIENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-041d362e-b1b7-448a-be67-dee6af3e35bd\">2 cups milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-68611e14-ca3b-45dd-ba78-62a371d3b0f1\">1 cup heavy cream<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-868a73d1-ea08-449b-b889-9047d646fb3d\">4 egg yolks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-f55e690f-675c-4187-a170-f1ba48fa1521\">1\/2 cup sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-3bbca944-0ff2-4bed-999b-a5fc387dd765\"><strong>DIRECTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-ed8e8067-5173-49d8-8f98-9ec746c363fa\"><li><strong>1. <\/strong>In a medium saucepan, warm milk until foam forms around edge of saucepan and then remove from heat.<\/li><li><strong>2. <\/strong>In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, 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. <em>(Pro Tip: If small egg lumps begin to show, remove from heat immediately.)<\/em><\/li><li><strong>3.<\/strong> Pour the mixture through a sieve or fine strainer into a bowl. Cover, and chill for several hours or overnight. This is the cold custard base.<\/li><li><strong>4<\/strong>. After custard base is thoroughly chilled, begin to whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.<\/li><li><strong>5. <\/strong>Gently fold the cold custard base into the whipped cream until smooth. Avoid beating as it will deflate the whipped cream.<\/li><li><strong>6.<\/strong> Pour the gelato into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. After 30-60 minutes go in and whip it up to break up the ice crystals. Repeat this step roughly 2-3 times until gelato thickens up.<\/li><li><strong>7.<\/strong> Once gelato has thickened, leave it be in the freezer for another 4-5 hours or until frozen before scooping.<\/li><li><strong>8.<\/strong> Cover well and keep in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. If hard to scoop allow the gelato to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until it softens slightly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84c0dfbb-1a64-461e-ac4f-481f161a19bb\"><em>Pro Tip: Try adding vanilla bean to the custard base before chilling to add a burst of flavour!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/kodomokids.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gelato.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kodomokids.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gelato.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/kodomokids.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gelato-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/kodomokids.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gelato-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we continue into the heat of June (at least for our friends in the Northern Hemisphere!), why not stop off for a gelato in Italy?!
