Milk-Based Ices

The following recipes fall into the category of milk-based ices frequently found in ice cream and pastry shops in Italy today. Fairly light in texture, these ices combine standard ice cream flavors, as well as fruit flavors, with a fairly lean mixture of milk and cream that contains no eggs. Often a little granulated gelatin is added to the mixture, to allow diverse elements to freeze together evenly, rather than to thicken it.
