Gelato is ice cream made in the Italian style. Gelato is simply the Italian word for ice cream, but in English, it has come to mean specifically Italian or Italian-style ice cam.[1]
Gelato is made with a base of milk and sugar. It is generally lower in fat than other styles of ice cream.[2] Gelato typically contains less air and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams.[3][4]
The Italian gelato to have a minimum of 3.5% butterfat.[5] In the United States, there is no legal standard definition for gelato as there is for ice cream, which must contain at least 10% butterfat.[6]
Gelato can be served in any way that ice cream is, including cup, cone, sandwich, cake, pie, or on a stick.
