Salted Caramel Gelato

Enjoy the smooth, sweet taste of salted caramel gelato, which has just the right amount of salt to make the flavors go well together.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup store-bought caramel sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until just simmering

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy

Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled

Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions

When the gelato is almost done churning, drizzle in the caramel sauce and sprinkle in the sea salt

Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm

Serve scoops of salted caramel gelato topped with additional caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt
