Peach Gelato Recipe

Ingredients

• 15 ounce cans peach chunks, drained and divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt, divided
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
• 6 egg yolks
• ¾ cup granulated sugar

1. Prepare ice cream maker for use according to manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine 1 can peaches, vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse until smooth and set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, combine milk, and heavy whipping cream over medium heat. Whisk until foamy and remove from heat.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the warm milk mixture, whisking constantly until combined thoroughly.
5. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and return to medium heat. Add the peach purée and cook, whisking constantly for 5 to 10 minutes. If egg lumps begin to form, remove from heat immediately.
6. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, using a fine strainer to separate any lumps from the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
7. Pour into the prepared ice cream maker and churn for 40 minutes. About 10 minutes before the churning is complete, add the remaining can of peaches. Transfer to a freezer-safe bowl and freeze until desired consistency.
