Gelato is absolutely one of my favourite desserts. Italian gelato is simply amazing! It is easy to make and this vanilla bean gelato is yummy. Be sure and use a high quality vanilla bean llike Madagascar Vanilla Beans.

Ingredients

(Makes 1 quart)

1-1/2 cups heavy cream

1-1/2 cups whole milk

1 cup sugar

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and sugar.
Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer.
Remove from heat.
Scrape the vanilla seeds into the milk, add the bean, and let sit for 30 minutes.
Strain into a clean bowl discarding the vanilla bean.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

Makes 1 quart

This vanilla gelato looks delicious and easy to make too. I guess will have to use vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean as it is not so easily available here. Can't wait to try it.
