1

Gather the Ingredients

To serve Wasabi Gelato, you'll need: 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 4 large egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of wasabi paste, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

2

Prepare the Base

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to steam. Be careful not to let it boil!

3

Temper the Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour about half of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly. This helps to temper the yolks and prevent them from curdling.

4

Combine and Cook

Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream. Stir in the wasabi paste and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

5

Chill and Churn

Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6

Freeze and Serve

Transfer the churned gelato into an airtight container and freeze it for an additional 2-4 hours, or until firm. When ready to serve, scoop the Wasabi Gelato into bowls or cones, and feel your taste buds ignite with delight!
