Heat the milk and cream in a pot until steaming, but do not boil.
Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt for 3 minutes, until pale.
Temper the eggs by adding the hot milk mixture gradually.
Return the mixture to the pot and cook for 7 minutes, stirring, until it reaches 82°C.
Add the vanilla and pass the custard through a sieve.
Chill the gelato base in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Churn in an ice cream machine for 25 minutes, until thickened.
Transfer the gelato to a container, firm it in the freezer for 1 hour, and serve.
💡 Tip: Putting the mixture into the machine before it is fully chilled increases crystallization; resting it overnight gives a smoother result.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in small bowls with espresso and fresh fruit.
