Gelato

Basic recipe:
450 ml (2 cups) milk
120 gr (4 oz)sugar
200 gr (7 oz)fresh cream
5 egg yolks
a pinch of vanilla (they have powdered vanilla and real vanilla bean, not the extract)
5 gr (1/6 oz) glucose (not essential if the gelato is consumed immediately, which isn't hard to do)

In a bowl, whip the egg yolks with the sugar. Then pour in the cream and vanilla and mix well. Heat to just below boiling, then cool. Pour the mixture, once cooled, into the ice cream maker and freeze.
Enjoy!

This is just the basic recipe, so flavor it as you will. Everything can be a gelato flavor. Everything.
