If you are contemplating the difference between ice cream and gelato, we will help you to set the record straight! Just like ice cream, gelato contains milk, sugar, and flavorings such as fruit or nuts, but, and here is the big difference, it has less cream than ice cream and usually no egg yolks. Amazing considering it tastes creamier than ice cream! You might think this is a ‘new’ Italian dessert, but ancient Roman emperors reportedly ate very similar desserts, and this dessert is said to be one of many culinary inventions that Catherine de' Medici is said to have taken from Florence to Paris in 1533 when she married the King of France. There is no written proof of that, but we do know for certain that in 1686, Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, a Sicilian fisherman and chef from Palermo, made the first gelato machine and took it to Paris!
