Ciao Bella White Chocolate Gelato

Today we're taking a little break from our cake series, because I wanted to make something cold and this gelato is amazing. I recently picked up The Ciao Bella Book of Gelato and Sorbetto: Bold, Fresh Flavors to Make at Home and this is the first chance I've had to use it. I've never had Ciao Bella gelato before (and hadn't actually even heard of it until a few weeks ago), but I'm now a fan.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 6 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup sugar

Directions:

1. Combine the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until scalded.
2. Add the white chocolate and whisk until smooth
3. Whisk the sugar into the egg yolks and temper by pouring a bit of hot cream while whisking.
4. Whisk the yolks back into the cream and heat over medium heat until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Chill in an ice bath, then overnight in the fridge.
6. Churn in an ice cream maker and then freeze for at least 4 hours.

This isn't any sort of paid advertisement, but you should go get the book.
