What is the difference between gelato and ice cream, anyway?
• I believe there is also a difference in ingredients used (not just flavourings) aha, here is a dirrect quote from: http://www.sandwhy.com/gelato.htm “For those wondering how gelato is different than ice cream, the basic differences that I have found (in all of my scientific research regarding gelato over the past few years – I mean minutes) seem to be the “overrun” (or aeration) of gelato, which is a lot less then ice cream – resulting in a more solid, richer texture (air content in gelato can be as low as 15%, air content in ice cream can go up to 50%). Another main difference is that it is not frozen as solidly as ice cream, giving it a smoother, creamier feel. The amounts of basic ingredients found in both – milk/cream, sugar, sometimes eggs – differ slightly also, with gelato having only milk (or water, depending on the flavor) or milk and a little cream, which not only means less fat (2-8% fat vs.the16-20% found in ice creams), but it means the added flavorings are the real star
