Ice Cream

Ice cream is a frozen dairy dessert made from milk, cream, sugar, and various flavourings. The basic production involves churning the mixture as it freezes, which creates a smooth, airy texture free of large ice crystals. It comes in dozens of flavours ranging from vanilla and chocolate to fruity sorbets. In the kitchen it is served as a dessert on its own or combined with fruit, cakes, and warm puddings. It also works well in sundaes, milkshakes, and as a filling for pastries. Italian gelato differs from classic ice cream in its lower air and fat content, making it denser with a more intense flavour.
