Frozen desserts are a family favourite whether they be homemade or store bought. An ice cold treat just tastes so good on a hot summer day! I can still remember running down to the Tasty Freeze with my quarter held tightly in my hand to get a frozen yogurt cone. Over the years there has been a variety of homemade ice creams, homemade popscicles, sherberts and freezer pies along with store bought versions. We recently discovered another frozen treat, gelato.
As a result of the pasteurization and aging process the ice crystals in gelato are quite small giving a smooth, creamy texture. Gelato has an overage of20% to 35% so is denser than ice cream with an
overage up to 50%. It also has a more intense flavour than icecream.
I served the gelato with mixed fresh berries in a light vanilla syrup made by sprinkling vanilla sugar over the fresh berries and letting them sit in the fridge for an hour. This really was a lovely dessert with the berries providing a nice contrast to the rich, creamy gelato.

Hi There...This Gelato sounds delicious. I've never attempted to make it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Chilly is doing pretty good. He still doesn't have any feeling in his hands but it won't be 6 months after his surgery until July. We hope by that time the feeling will return.
Take care....
Hi Wanda :) I'm so glad to hear Chilly is doing good. That has to be scary with no feeling in his hands though. Hopefully the feeling comes back quickly. Sending healing thoughts and prayers his way.
Take care,
I like cooking but the problem is that this pastime is very expensive. I am into saving so maybe I will just do it when I will earn lots of money in my blogging.
Hi Edward and thanks for visiting. Cooking is the number one method for saving on food costs especially if you use whole ingredients. If you follow this blog you will see home cooking is highly stressed.
Good luck with your blogging endeavors.
