gelato is typically described as being more dense (less air) than ice
cream. Also less fat, less cream, fewer eggs, and no butter (all
according to Marcella Hazan).
Here is a gelato recipe. It's the one I was thinking of when I said
"mango/rum/chile". Obviously, I've never made this one, but I
wouldn't because of the boose and am too damned lazy anyway (mainly,
I don't own an ice cream maker).
Banana Rum Gelato
3/4 to 1 lb ripe bananas
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup milk
2 TBSP dark rum
ice cream maker
<1> Peel the bananas, cut them up, put in a food processor, and puree them.
<2> Add the sugar, milk, and rum to the processor bowl and run the
steel blade for another minute.
<3> Freeze as described on page 610
[HA! says to follow manufacturer's instructions; ready to eat when
done; if you freeze it, let thaw in fridge for 30 minutes before
serving].
It does not need any tempering when you take it out of the freezer
because this is a particularly soft gelato.

What?? Smack that woman around some! She's dingy! No, I'm joking.
Surely do not want to offend, her or you. Maybe she needs to view it
drunk? Such a sad tale, indeed. I'm almost speechless.
