Gelato Ice Cream – Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs or no eggs at all. It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than normal ice cream. Gelato ripples and forms imperfect scoops because it is so much denser than standard ice cream and due to its higher volume of milk to the cream ratio as well as its churning rate. The flavour is more intense and purer than other ice cream and that is down to the little or no egg in the mixture. The intense flavour and flexibility to create different flavours have seen a growing trend in customers looking for gelato outlets.
