During the summer months...gelato gets made fewer times in my kitchen since I'm very much into having an outing to go have my gelato with friends and family ;o)
I still make my gelato in a very traditional fashion...without machine for now. My procedure is quite different when making the custard. I will have to compare it to yours one day.
I enjoyed your post very much...you have given loads of great info...especially for those that have never made this homemade treat before.
Thanks for sharing and flavourful wishes,
Claudia
