What is the difference between ice and ice cream? Does anyone have a recipe for great gelato? Thank you in advance!
Creamy Gelato
2 1 / 2 cups milk
1 / 2 cup heavy cream
3 / 4 cup sugar
5 large egg yolks
In a saucepan, heat milk and cream and reduce over medium heat until 2 cups remain. In a large bowl using a whisk, beat the sugar with the egg yolks until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Heat the mixture over simmering water, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until it thickens enough to coat the spoon.
Do not overheat or allow the mixture coagulates. When thickened, remove the bowl from heat and continue stirring for one minute to ensure the mixture is evenly cooked.
Cool to room temperature, refrigerate, covered, until completely cold, preferably overnight.
Process mixture in ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately. Yield: about 3 1 / 2 cups

Gelato is a frozen Italian dessert made with milk and sugar, combined with other flavorings. As high-end ice cream, gelato generally has less air to 35% - resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful.

Ice Cream (ice cream at the origin) are a frozen dessert made from dairy products such as cream (or substituted ingredients), combined with flavorings and sweeteners such as sugar. This mixture is cooled while stirring to prevent large ice crystals from forming.

Gelato is European style ice cream that has very little air whipped into it and is made from a fatty cream less than most super premium ice creams.
To make a decent gelato requires professional equipment, not really suited to home cooking.
ice no recipe, but the comparison is that the ice is not as fattening and is made from milk / cream is not, and it is richer and more intense flavor! mmmmmm
No recipe, but ... the difference between ice and ice cream is gelato has more flavor and twice the sugar of regular ice cream
