Ice Cream vs. Gelato vs. Sorbet
The basic difference is milk! There are milk homemade ice cream recipes, cream ice cream recipes and ice cream recipes made with water.
Gelato is made using whole milk. Whereas ice cream is made with full fat cream or a combination of milk and cream. But generally, ice creams are made with more cream than milk. Hence the word “ice cream”.
Gelato originates from Italy, at least the “new” gelato made from Milk. Although, the first signs of gelato originated from China where they use rice, milk and even snow. Gelato is lighter in texture than ice cream. And because it doesn’t use cream, it will obviously have less fat.
Sorbet on the other hand, is just a frozen dessert made up of frozen pureed fruit. There is not milk or cream in sorbet, but there is milk or cream in sherbet.
And then there is granita, which is pretty similar to sorbet, but granita isn't churned. Granita is spread into a layer and then frozen.
I know it's all so very confusing! But what isn't confusing is the fact that they are all so delicious!
Today, I'm sharing with you a compilation of Ice Cream, Gelato and Sorbet treats.
