Italian Crema Ice Cream (Gelato alla Crema)

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Italian Crema Ice Cream (Gelato alla Crema)). Answering the question 'What would vanilla ice cream taste like without any vanilla?', Italian 'crema' ice cream is exceptionally delicious not because of what's in it, but rather what isn't. Ironically, it might be the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had. Without any other flavors in the way, all you taste is the sweet goodness of milk and cream, which I think is a revelation.
