Call it frozen custard, call it gelato—by any name this smooth and intensely flavored frozen dessert is fantastic. You can freeze the custard in an old-fashioned ice cream maker using ice and salt, but it’s absolutely effortless in one of the new electric machines. Remember to pre-freeze the container portion of the ice cream maker.

(If you don’t have an ice cream maker, check out “3 Easy Ways to Make Ice Cream Without a Machine.”)
