RECIPE STEPS
1
Prepare the custard.
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape the seeds out with the tip of a knife. Add the milk, cream, vanilla seeds and the pod into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Turn off the heat, cover and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod.
- 300 ml whole milk
- 1 Vanilla pod
- 200 ml cream
2
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a large bowl until it is smooth. Gradually pour the warm vanilla-milk followed by the powdered milk into the bowl, whisking continuously.
Pour the incorporated mixture into the saucepan.
- 5 egg yolks
- 100 g sugar
- 30 g non-fat milk powder
3
Heat gently over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the white foam has disappeared and the custard coats the spoon (around 85°C).
The mixture should have thickened slightly. It should not cook for a long time as this poses the risk of modifying the taste of the ice cream.
If needed, filter the custard through a fine sieve.
4
Leave the mixture in the fridge until it is cold.
5
Press the Artisanal ice cream or Italian ice cream mode. Pour the mixture into the Gelato Expert.
When the light flashes, your ice cream is ready.
6
Serve your ice cream immediately, keep it cold using the conservation mode (2 hours) or store it in the freezer.
