Citrus Gelato
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 6 large eggs yolks
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 orange, zested, orange reserved
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon white rum or vodka
- 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.
