Vanilla Bean Gelato

Chef Humphrey Morbeck


Recipe Introduction


No need to trick up this homemade vanilla gelato with fancy toppings. It's best savored with nothing more than a paper-thin cookie.


List of Ingredients




NGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups heavy or whipping cream
2 vanilla beans, split
3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs

In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, bring cream and vanilla beans to a boil over medium heat.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat sugar and eggs. Mix in one cup of the hot cream mixture. Slowly pour egg mixture back into cream mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture coats the back of a spoon (do not boil, or it will curdle). Remove saucepan from heat.

Strain custard through a sieve into a medium bowl. Remove vanilla beans; when cool enough to handle, scrape out vanilla seeds and add to custard.

Place bowl into a larger bowl filled halfway with ice water. Cool custard, stirring occasionally, until well chilled. (Or refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than overnight.)

Using an ice cream machine, process according to manufacturer's instructions.
