Dessert: Lemon Gelato



Ingredients

* 6 whole Egg Yolks

* 2-½ cups Half-and-half
* 6 whole Lemons, Zested And Juiced
* 1-¼ cup Sugar
* ½ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract



Note that serving size will depend on how much you dish out.

Whisk your egg yolks and heavy cream together into a bowl and set aside. Into a large sauce pan, add half-and-half, lemon zest and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add some of the warm half-and-half mixture to the egg yolk mixture into order to temper. GRADUALLY add the egg yolk mixture into the half-and-half mixture and stir well to combine. Return to medium heat and cook until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Allow pan to cool slightly. Cover with Saran wrap and place into the fridge to cool completely. When you’re ready to make your gelato, stir in the lemon juice and follow instructions on your gelato maker!
