If you think ice cream and gelato are the same, think again. Gelato’s soft but dense texture and rich taste are the result of its custard base, which contains less cream and more eggs than ice cream. Typically made in smaller batches, gelato is frozen very quickly with a lot less air being incorporated, yielding a velvety texture.
