Delicious Homemade Gelato with a KitchenAid Mixer

Are you craving a creamy and refreshing treat? Look no further than homemade gelato! With the help of a KitchenAid mixer, you can easily whip up a batch of this Italian frozen dessert right in your own kitchen. Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious gelato that will rival any store-bought version.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 egg yolks
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• Flavorings of your choice (such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, fruit puree, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base: In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Add Flavor: Once the base has cooled, stir in your desired flavorings. Whether you prefer classic vanilla, rich chocolate, or fruity flavors, this is the time to customize your gelato to your liking.
3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect creamy texture of gelato.
4. Churn the Gelato: Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, it's time to churn it into gelato. Transfer the mixture to your KitchenAid mixer and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions. The KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment makes this step a breeze, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Freeze and Enjoy: After churning, transfer the gelato to a container and freeze it for a few hours to allow it to firm up. Then, scoop out the creamy goodness and indulge in your homemade gelato!
