Gelato maker George Pompei shares his recipe.
Ingredients
520ml milk
1 vanilla bean
Ŋ teaspoon lemon zest
3 coffee beans
6 egg yolks
180g sugar
180ml cream
Method
1. Pour milk into a heavy-based saucepan. Split vanilla bean lengthways and add to the milk with lemon zest and coffee beans. Bring to a very gentle simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Beat egg yolks with sugar in a bowl until they become thick and creamy, then add to milk mixture in saucepan. Return saucepan to a very low heat, stirring gently.
3. Remove just before the mix begins to boil. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool before straining mixture through a sieve into a stainless steel bowl.
4. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean pod into the mixture before discarding pod, lemon zest and coffee beans. Whip cream into soft peaks and gently fold into cooled mixture. Place bowl in the coldest part of the freezer and gently fold the mixture with a metal spoon every 2 hours, or just as the gelato begins to freeze, until fully set.
Notes
Best enjoyed within 24 hours. Most home freezers operate around -20ēC, which is why gelato stored at home becomes hard and difficult to scoop. Transfer gelato from the freezer to the fridge 30 minutes before you want to serve it.

My daughter loves chocolate icecream and I had given up on trying to cook one to her liking as they all turned out to be too rich - most had eggs and cream. Then I found once recipe on the internet - chocolate gelato - with turned out to be perfect to her taste. Its a base of custard with chocolate and no cream or egg. Once its cooled I freeze it and then cut it in small chunks and beat on a high speed as with other icecreams. Once I find my little booklet I will post the recipe.

Wow, sounds great. Thank you so much!!!
All of the recipes I found on the net seem to need about 6 egg yolks!! I thought this was a bit extreme
Off to buy a choccie bar and give this a go.
Will let you know how it goes.
cheers
Kristie ;D ;D

Thanks Gralke. We are always on the look out for egg free recipes and this looks fabulous. Somewhere between the rich and decadant one we make and the sorbet version we do.
Our sorbet version (which miss 5 says tastes just like the paddle pop daddy bought her).
3 - 4 teaspons of sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa
process on speed 9 for 10 seconds then proceed as with sorbet recipe with
a tray of frozen milk cubes, and a tray of ice cubes

Barbara, made this the other day & forgot to mention how nice this is. I poured into ice-cube trays and just dished it out with a spoon without any further processing. At the weekend I bought myself a large silicon ice-cube tray which is deeper and should hold all the mixture. I'm hoping the cubes will just pop out of these for me instead of having to spoon them out of the old plastic ones. Such an easy recipe, just a few ingredients we all have in the cupboard - why did I wait for the cold weather to arrive before I decided to try it :-)) :-))

having been to a yummy lunch at pompeiis yesterday, I would love it if someone could convert george's recipe, they really are the best (though very very pricey..)
