Gelato is an Italian rendition of ice cream, known for its dense, custard-like velvety texture. Gelato gets its thick creaminess from its unique churning process. Unlike ice cream, which contains up to 50% more air after the churning process, gelato contains 25 to 30% air. This reduction in air significantly changes the texture and flavor, making it less icy and far more creamy. In fact, gelato is at times so dense that it requires its own special shovel-like spoon to consume it!

Frozen Yogurt
This tart and tangy iteration got its big start in the 80s, when the lowfat craze first kicked off. Frozen yogurt is popular for its low fat and calorie content. Plus, many frozen yogurt establishments have a fairly extensive topping bar, allowing you to customize your frozen dessert in any way you please.

Italian Ice
Perfect for a hot summer day on the beach, Italian ice is a sweetened frozen dessert that is either made with fruit, cream, or other natural or artifical food flavorings. This is also a low-calorie choice, allowing you to scoop as many flavors as you want into your ice cream cup!
