Substitutes for Nutmeg Powder in gelato

Nutmeg powder is the ground seed kernel of Myristica fragrans, a warm, aromatic spice roughly 36% fat and rich in essential oils. In gelato it is a pure flavoring: used at a pinch, it adds warm spice character with essentially no effect on sweetness or freezing point. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked.
