How to Make Caffe Latte Gelato
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup freshly brewed strong coffee. Gently heat over medium-low heat until just simmering.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 30 minutes to allow the coffee flavor to fully infuse.
- Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Return the strained milk mixture to the saucepan. Heat gently until small bubbles appear around the edges. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- In a blender or food processor, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 4 large egg yolks until pale and thick (about 3-5 minutes).
- Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture while blending continuously on low speed to prevent scrambling the eggs.
- Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat immediately. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water to cool quickly, stirring occasionally.
- Once the custard is completely cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled custard until just combined.
- Churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a super-silky texture, use a slower churning speed.
- Once churned, transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up further before serving.
- Serve your Caffè Latte Gelato topped with freshly whipped cream and chocolate-covered coffee beans (optional).
