When all the milk has been added, cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a trail when a finger is run over the spoon (Don't overcook the eggs; doing so will change the flavor of the gelato).
