Frozen treats from my new toy

With our anniversary money we bought a new toy for my mixer. I love my mixer.  I use it all the time.  So this is a new bowl for my mixer and you freeze it and then mix and you get ice cream without ice or salt or any of that mess.

The first thing I made was lemon sorbet.

Start off with a cup of water and sugar.  Bring it to a boil and it should thicken.

Zest a lemon.  A micro plane zester is always better the zest is finer and not a stringy.

Juice enough lemons for a cup of juice.  I like to use fresh but you can use bottled too.  It was a little strong so you could use a little less.

Combine zest and juice.

 Combine with syrup you made and let cool.

Place frozen bowl with dasher in it and top on mixer head.

Mix for 20-30 min on stir.

When done freeze for a few hours.

Scoop and enjoy.

Now for gelato.  It is italian ice cream that uses milk instead of cream.  I used 1%.

Here is what you need.  3 cups of milk, 3/4 cup of sugar, 6 eggs, and vanilla.

Separate the egg yolks and do whatever you want with the whites.

Whisk the yolks

Warm milk and sugar over a low heat while whisking

Add a little vanilla or whatever flavor you want

Temper the eggs by adding a little of the warm milk to the eggs so they won't scramble when you but them in the warm milk.

Add the tempered eggs to the warm milk.  Whisk over low heat for quite a few min until it thickens.

Chill in refrigerator or ice bath until completely cold

Churn

Freeze for a couple of hours to firm up and enjoy
