Has anyone ever tried gelato? If so, what is the difference between that and regular ice cream? Which do you prefer? and finally, What is your favorite flavor of gelato?

Hi, in Australia we call it gelati, and it was usually the 'tutti frutti' that I got. Yum yum. I love it but haven't had it for years. Of course now I want some.

I have had both and they both taste wonderfull. Here is a recipe for gelato; Chocolate Gelato 3/4 cup whole milk 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped 8 ounces granulated sugar 10 egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 ounces sweet dark chocolate, chopped Place whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean and seeds in a sauce pot and scald. Remove vanilla bean. Whip the granulated sugar and egg yolks to a pale yellow ribbon state. Your sugar and egg yolks should be nice and fluffy. Add about a 1/2 cup of your scalded cream to your chopped chocolate in a bowl. Stir until melted. Place the bowl over a double boiler of barely simmering water. Set up a second double boiler. Constantly stirring with a wooden spoon, add scalded cream to your whipped egg and sugar mixture. Place egg and cream mixture over the double boiler and cook custard until it becomes thick and creamy. See Cook's Note. Once custard is cooked, place the bowl over a cold water bath to cool. Gradually add your melted chocolate. Once custard is cool place in an ice cream machine and run as per manufacturer's instructions. Enjoy the love. Cook's Note: It is recommended that the custard not be heated over 140 degrees F.

Gelato is an italian ice cream. It is said that it contains much more sugar than our ice cream and some say that it's alot better.
