    What is the difference between ice cream and gelato? I thought gelato was just Italian for ice cream.

    Gelato is made with mostly milk instead of cream so it has less fat and a different consistency, tasted a bit less creamy.

    I am on the hunt for a good recipe for coffee ice cream that doesn't require a custard, if you have one please let me know. My homemade peach is almost gone :(

    if I was a super hero my weakness and the cause of my down fall would be ice cream! I am only breaking even on calories because I am exercising loads! Makes me feel all warm and happy that Im not the only one!

    Thanks for the explanations! But I think I might have to eat lots of both to make sure I can tell the difference.

    Salted Caramel is my absolute favorite :love:

    Have you tried Talenti's Sea Salt Caramel??!
    Of course I have. Sea salt caramel Talenti is my favorite of any kind.

    Just get an ice cream maker! You can experiment with all sorts of flavors and, since you're like me and will eat it all anyway, you won't have to worry about storing it!

    WHEAT FLOUR, CORN SYRUP, SOYBEAN OIL, BUTTEROIL, BAKING POWDER , BAKING SODA, GUAR GUM, SOY LECITHIN,, CARRAGEENAN, LACTASE

    I have just moved to a house where there is no freezer. It's only for 6 months, but I am going to buy a freezer just so I can have ice cream (and cocktails).

    Ice cream and cocktails. A match made in heaven. Only made better with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. For dipping. You know, rather than use a spoon.

    I had an amazing ice cream cocktail the other week. I was just about to order dessert when I saw the bartender making a cocktail out of espresso, spiced rum, chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce and cream. It could only have been improved by a cookie garnish.

    Do you have room for a deep freezer?
    Sadly, I don't. I live in an apartment in Queens, NYC and it's not so big.
    Ice cream is so last year. Gelato is where it's at.
    Unfortunately since you don't know me you have no idea how many miles ahead of you in the gelato game I am.

    It's true. I can confirm. He is another top level gelato connoisseur.

    I have considered buying one of those stand alone freezers to support my ice cream habit. Srs.

    I may know for a fact that walmart has one for 160, 3.6 cubic feet. Which is just right for holding ice cream and frozen baked goods.

    I mean. Not that I got one or anything.

    And gelato is churned at a much slower rate than ice cream making it much denser than ice cream.

    If loving you is wrong
    I don't wanna be right
    If being right means
    being without you
    I'd rather live
    a wrong doing life

    My friends, I think I have a problem. I woke up at 730, brushed my teeth, grabbed a spoon then went straight to the freezer for the ice cream.

    Then I had to go to the supermarket to get some stuff for the beach and I purchased an ice cream I had heard awesome things about. $8 a pint. It was really good but the chocolate over powered the caramel, good thing I have something to add to it....

    As I'm trying it at home a certain someone says to me "How many ice creams are you planning on having here?" My response........"A lot".

    I have issues. To small of a freezer issues.

    Currently addicted to yoo moo, frozen heaven.
    Saw in aldi today for first time ever, I think I may have accidentally shouted "yoo moo" as I sprinted towards it.
