Gelato Recipe for Stay at Home Parents

As a stay at home parent, you understand the importance of finding creative ways to connect with your family and make time for yourself. Making and enjoying a homemade gelato recipe is an enjoyable activity that can be done together with your family, while providing a delicious reward. This gelato recipe requires a few simple ingredients and minimal kitchen tools, making it an easy dessert to whip up in no time.

Ingredients:
– 2 cups of whole milk
– 2 cups of heavy cream
– 1 cup of white sugar
– 6 egg yolks
– 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– Gelato topping of choice (i.e. fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, caramel sauce)

Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk, cream and sugar on medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer. Once the mixture is hot, turn off the heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until they form a silky texture.
3. Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to prevent scrambling the eggs.
4. Return the mixture back to the saucepan and cook on low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or container and stir in vanilla extract and salt until fully combined.
6. Let cool completely before transferring to an ice cream maker and follow instructions on how to make gelato according to manufacturer’s instructions or freeze in an airtight container for at least 6 hours or overnight stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches desired consistency.
7. Serve with desired toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, chocolate chips or caramel sauce. Enjoy!

The Story of How Gelato Became My Family’s Favorite Summer Treat

As stay at home parents, my husband and I were always looking for fun activities that our family could enjoy together during summer vacations. We decided one year to try our hand at making homemade gelato with various flavors and toppings that we could all enjoy while spending quality time together as a family — it was an instant hit! With just a few simple ingredients like whole milk, heavy cream, sugar and egg yolks we were able to produce delicious batches of gelato in classic flavors such as vanilla and chocolate as well as more adventurous flavors like raspberry and mango with various toppings like fresh fruit, nuts or even caramel sauce for added indulgence. It was amazing how much fun everyone had in creating new flavors and experimenting with different combinations that would become our summertime favorites! From that moment on my family never looked back—we made sure to make homemade gelato every summer break so we could enjoy this delicious treat together as a family for many years to come!
