Banana Gelato - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups whole milk
2 very ripe bananas, peeled and quartered
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Bring milk and bananas to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan; set over very low heat to keep warm.
Beat yolks and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer at high speed until thick.
Beat half the milk mixture into yolk mixture in a thin stream, then combine with remaining milk mixture in saucepan. Set over low heat and cook until mixture coats back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla, salt and cream.
Pour into large container, cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Pour mixture into the canister of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
