Traditional Stracciatella Gelato Recipe With Milk Cream (Crema di Latte)

This stracciatella gelato recipe is a milk ice cream, known as crema di latte or fior di latte, mixed with chocolate shards to add a delightful crunch. Crema di latte is a traditional base for many Italian gelati, especially those with fruit or sorbet. It’s lighter because it does not use heavy cream. To enhance its creaminess, Italian meringue is added after the base has cooled, creating the traditional luscious texture.

wow that's interesting, my husband loves Stracciatella flavour, I never realised it was basically vanilla with chocolate chip. He says it has a distinct flavour, is there another ingredient that they use in the over the counter version?

Thank you for your comment. Often flavour differs based on the choice of ingredients, like quality of the chocolate and whole vs low fat milk. They also vary from country to country
