Easy Homemade Gelato Recipe 🍨

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cacao nibs

💰Cheaper: milk chocolate

Cacao nibs provide a healthier chocolate flavor without added sugar.

Heat 9 cups of milk in a deep skillet over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Separate 15 egg yolks from the whites and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Add 2 and 1/4 cups of sugar to the egg yolks and beat with a stand mixer on low for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth.

Take three scoops of the heated milk and gradually whisk it into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs.

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the skillet with the remaining milk, whisking constantly.

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon, without bringing it to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.

Cool the mixture to room temperature, then refrigerate for 12 to 18 hours.

Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker canister and layer with ice and rock salt.

Churn according to the ice cream maker's instructions.
