Food & Vine claim that there is a significant difference between regular ice cream and gelato ice cream.
Ice cream in its many forms is the most favorite food on Earth. There is only one milk dessert that can stand against good American ice cream: Gelato dessert. In recent years, Gelato has grown in popularity in the United States, and many people wonder what makes it different from ordinary ice cream. So here are the differences between ice cream and jelato.
They are made with different ingredients.
According to Morgan Morano, author The Art of Making Gelato, The differences between ice cream and Gelato begin with their ingredients and proportions. The basis for both is a mixture of cream, milk and sugar. Ice cream, however, contains more sour cream than Gelato, and egg yolks, which are rarely used in traditional Gelato.
They also contain different amounts of fat.
According to the FDA, ice cream must contain at least 10% fat, but most ice cream contains between 14% and 25%. Gelato is more compact - it traditionally contains only 4-9% fat.
They have different textures.
The process of making both ice cream and jelato is called whipping. However, two desserts are mixed at different speeds and intensities, which affects the resulting textures. Ice cream is whipped much faster, which leads to a significant increase in the amount of air. The result is a more fluffy texture, while Gelato is denser, smoother, and often more fragrant.
These two dishes are served at different temperatures.
Due to its increased density, Gelato is served at temperatures from 12 to 15 degrees Celsius, which is 10-15 degrees warmer than ice cream is traditionally served.
Different feed
Ice cream can be served in a waffle cone, but for Gelato you need a special spoon or spatula.
