Are You Addicted To Gelato?




Are You Addicted To Gelato? : A blog about gelato, how to make it and why it’s good.

Introduction

Gelato is my favorite dessert, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. I have a freezer full of it! But what exactly is gelato? How does it differ from ice cream? And how do you make it yourself? Here are some answers to these questions as well as why you should start making your own gelato right now.

What is Gelato?

Gelato is a frozen dessert made from milk, sugar and eggs. Unlike ice cream which contains more air and less fat than gelato, gelato has much less air in it and therefore has a richer taste. The extra fat in ice cream makes it feel smooth in your mouth while the airiness of gelato gives it a light texture.

Why Is Gelato Better Than Ice Cream?

It’s all about the fat and air. Ice cream has a higher fat content than gelato, and since it’s churned at a higher rate, it contains more air. This makes ice cream denser than gelato—and that means it’s harder to scoop! In contrast, because of its lower fat content and less whipped air, gelato is lighter in texture and easier to scoop into cups or cones with your hands. It also melts at a lower temperature than ice cream (about -1°F/-18°C) so if you’re eating it out of the container (which is totally acceptable), you won’t have to worry about your treats getting drippy or messy

How To Make Homemade Gelato?

There are a few things you should know if you want to make homemade gelato. First and foremost, it’s important to know that gelato has less air than ice cream, but more fat and less sugar. This means that it will be denser and richer in texture. Also, gelato is churned at a slower speed than ice cream and served at warmer temperatures than ice cream (about 9-12 degrees Celsius or 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit).

For those of us who have been blessed with the opportunity to enjoy gelato in its native country of Italy (or even just at our local Italian restaurant), there are some basic facts that we know:

  • Gelato is smoother than ice cream because it has less air whipped into it by machines during production. This makes for a more decadent treat overall.
  • Gelato contains less fat than traditional American-style ice cream, which makes it healthier for you (and also means your stomach will feel less bloated after eating).
  • Gelato has less sugar then most American-style desserts, making it more refreshing and appealing to those with diabetes or other health issues whose doctors recommend a low sugar diet.

Conclusion

Gelato is an amazing dessert that you need to try if you haven’t already. It’s creamy, delicious and can be made with your favorite flavors! Plus it has less fat than ice cream so it’s healthier too (but who cares about health when there’s gelato?).
