Almond, Chocolate, and Pistachio SpumoniJohn Valiant

Spumoni trumps all others as the ideal frozen treat: It's richer than gelato, lighter than ice cream, and smoother than frozen custard. The inspiration for this classic flavor combination came from L & B Spumoni Gardens, in Brooklyn, a favorite spot for this tricolor treat.

Cooks' notes:

•Custards can be chilled up to 1 day.
•Spumoni can be made 3 days ahead.
