Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Warm the milk in a large saucepan with 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of the sugar, and the milk powder. Stir well to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Place the egg yolks into the bowl of a stand mixer with the remaining vanilla extract and sugar. Whisk for at least 10 minutes until the eggs are light, fluffy, and increased in volume.
- Put a mixing bowl large enough to hold the custard into the freezer or chill the bowl with ice cubes.
- Gently reheat the milk mixture until warm but not hot or boiling to avoid curdling the custard.
- Pour the liquid slowly over the beaten eggs with the mixer running on medium speed; take care and do not rush this process.
- Return the custard to the pan and place over low heat. Stir continuously and cook slowly and gently until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
- Pour the custard into the chilled bowl and continue to stir until the custard is cold.
- Pour the gelato into a plastic tub with a well-fitting lid. Put into the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Take the custard out and beat with either a fork, hand whisk, or electric hand mixer to break down the custard into a smooth consistency. Do this 3 or 4 times every 30 minutes.
- Store the gelato in a plastic tub with a well-fitting lid.
- Remove the gelato from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.
- Cut a circle of greaseproof paper and lay this on the surface of the custard (this prevents a skin forming). Put the custard into the fridge for 3 to 4 hours or even overnight.
- Churn in ice cream machine following the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:
- Whisk the sugar, salt and yolks in a heavy medium stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cream. Then whisk in the milk, buttermilk and citrus zests. Using a wooden spoon, stir the custard constantly over medium heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer registers between 180 and 185 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Immediately scrape the custard into a 4-cup measuring cup; mix in the rum. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, about 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Cover until ready to freeze (can be made 1 day in advance).
- Freeze the custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
- While the custard is freezing in the ice cream machine, peel and trim the ends from the zested orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments onto a cutting board. Cut the segments into 1/2-inch pieces. During the last 10 minutes of freezing time, add the orange segments.
- Transfer to a container; cover and freeze until ready to serve.
LEMON GELATO
On a recent trip to Italy, I became addicted to gelato. My favorite choice was lemon because Italian lemons have an intense flavor. This recipe brings back memories of our vacation. -Gail Wang, Troy, Michigan

CUSTARD GELATO
One of the most popular flavors in gelaterie in Italy is crema, a simple frozen custard unenhanced by any flavoring. It has a rich yellow color due to the brightness of the yolks of Italian corn-fed chickens.
