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.

Ohhh, these would be so yummy with curry inside. I (pre TMX) used to make curry puffs but these would be even better!!

I think I need a bigger fridge lol

I used to work in Weld St Cookie1. Still work at the same place but it's moved out to McDaniel Rd/Archer St and I'm currently on maternity leave from there. I go crazy for the mangoes too. We've been here for 4.5yrs now. Came up for a long weekend and decided to stay.

We'd been visiting Broome since 1990 and always loved it. Yep, will be here through the wet season. I'm pretty used to it now - not to say it doesn't still take my breath away at times. See attached pic of my daughter enjoying her 2nd b'day Broome style.

Well, the TMX arrived today and I LOVE IT!! Yep - it's wonderful and I've barely worked out what it does yet. I made an orange sorbet for my first try and my hubby and I were both impressed. Will be making blueberry pancakes for brekky once I have tracked down a recipe.

Can't wait to chat to you all and share more ideas!!

Thank you so much everyone - going to really enjoy my new toy and it looks like there is so much support for us newbies here!!

Hahaha, I do pinch myself regularly. It's a lovely lifestyle here in Broome. Like you say though Gretchen, some things may be hard to come by. That's a lovely offer - thanks so much.

I loved the ebay test you did cathybenson79 - that was a great idea!!

I have been looking through the recipes and drooling lol, so many delicious things to make!!

I'm not sure what to buy in preparation for this wonderful machine to arrive. I had a look at some scanpan tart, pie and loaf tins today. Are these the kinds of things required? I have previously done most of my cooking in the slowcooker (which I looove) and really not much baking so am a bit clueless to what is needed. I'd like to make pies, quiches, custart tarts etc.

thanks again everyone!!
