How to Make Coffee Gelato With Orange Zest
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and frothy.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and immediately strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a chilled bowl. This removes any cooked egg bits for a smoother gelato.
- Stir in 1/2 cup freshly brewed strong espresso, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, and 1 teaspoon ground espresso (optional).
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Churn the chilled mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will usually take 20-30 minutes.
- Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the gelato to prevent ice crystals from forming. Cover with a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours to harden.
- Before serving, let the gelato sit in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to soften slightly.
