I have often heard about the wonders of Gelato - traditional Italian ice cream, but up until recently I have never had the opportunity to partake. I say opportunity but it would be far more accurate to say honour or even privilege. Why? Because without the slightest doubt, I can say it was the most creamy and flavoursome ice cream that I have ever tasted in my life. And to call it simply an ice cream is - in my opinion - an insult!
Who invented Gelato ?
What is Gelato ice cream?
Gelato is a combination of whole milk, eggs, sugar, and natural flavoring - usually fresh fruit and sugar. It is similar to ice cream, but lower in fat (ice cream tends to be 10% to 20% fat, while gelato is 8% or less). Gelato is typically flavored with fresh fruit purees, cocoa and/or nut pastes. If other ingredients such as chocolate flakes, nuts, small confections, cookies, or biscuits are added, they are added after the gelato is frozen.
Gelato is softer and - like a sorbet - provides far more intense fruit flavors while still remaining very creamy like a top quality modern ice cream. To make it yourself, the only special equipment you would need is an ice cream maker (either electric or manual) that uses salt and ice for cooling. Alternatively, you you can use one of those fancy ice cream makers that uses a gel container that you pre-freeze, but make sure you use their instructions as there may be differences in their use!
