Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsalted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup Candied orange peel (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy.
Slowly drizzle about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, stirring continuously over low heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange zest, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped pistachios and candied orange peel, if using.
Transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the vibrant, luxurious flavors of this Dolce & Gabbana inspired dessert.
