Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine milk and orange zest. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and remove pan from heat. Let steep 30 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, cook orange juice over medium-low heat until reduced by three-fourths, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and let orange syrup cool completely.
• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Return milk to a simmer.
• Add half of warm milk to egg-yolk mixture; whisk until blended. Return new mixture to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat back of a wooden spoon.
• Have ready an ice-water bath. Remove saucepan from heat; immediately stir in cream. Pass mixture through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath; chill. Stir in orange syrup.
• Freeze in ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest from the oranges and squeeze the juice. There should be about 3 tablespoons zest and 2/3 cup juice.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water and the sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until very light. Slowly add the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Pour into a large saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until slightly thickened.
• Strain the mixture into a medium bowl, and set it in a larger bowl partialy filled with ice water. Stir in the orange juice and zest. Let cool, stirring occasionally. (Or chill overnight in refrigerator.)
• In a large chilled bowl, using an electric mixer with chilled beaters, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream into the cooled orange custard mixture. Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a covered container and place in freezer until serving time. If the gelato becomes too firm, place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the orange juice to a simmer over medium-low heat. Continue simmering until the juice reduces by one-third and becomes syrupy, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Combine the egg yolks with the sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until thick and pale yellow, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the milk to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan. Stir about one-half of the warm milk into the egg-sugar mixture (to warm it up so the eggs won't curdle) and whisk to blend. Pour this mixture into the milk remaining in the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 2 hours. Stir the orange syrup into the custard and freeze in an ice-cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sprinkle with the orange zest and garnish with mint leaves before serving.

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.

Refrigerate, covered, while preparing filling., For filling, cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of oranges; stand oranges upright on a cutting board. With a knife, cut peel and outer membrane from oranges. Cut along the membrane of each segment to remove fruit from 8 oranges. Thinly slice remaining 2 oranges; remove seeds. Place orange segments and slices between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture; let stand while preparing filling. , In a small bowl, beat goat cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, honey, 1 egg yolk and salt until smooth. Spread over crust to within 2 in. of edge. Arrange orange segments over cheese mixture. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons coarse sugar; dot with butter., Fold crust edge over filling, pleating as you go and leaving an opening in the center.
