Gelato Ice Cream
4 servings
35 minutes
Gelato is traditional Italian ice cream known for its creamy texture and rich flavor. Unlike regular ice cream, it contains less air, making it denser and creamier. This recipe offers a deep chocolate taste highlighted by caramel notes. Historically, gelato emerged in Italy during the Renaissance and became part of the culture of enjoyment and dessert-making art. Its softness is achieved through a careful heating and cooling process, while the addition of cocoa and dark chocolate makes it particularly rich. Gelato is perfect for summer days or as an exquisite dessert after a hearty dinner. Enjoy this Italian treat full of flavor nuances!
