Ice cream and gelato both include milk and sugar in their bases, but that’s where the similarity in recipes stops.
Gelato translates to “ice cream” in Italian, but this dessert’s texture is denser, smoother, and richer than American ice cream. Like ice cream, gelato uses milk, cream, and sugar, but it differs in proportions. Gelato uses less cream and more milk than ice cream and typically contains no egg yolks or eggs at all.
Gelato is served slightly warmer than American ice cream and is also churned at a slower rate, introducing less air into the product.
