Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream, but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser6 than ice cream.
Gelato是意大利语中的冰淇淋。它的原料是和冰淇淋类似的蛋奶沙司,但是牛奶的比例更高,奶油和鸡蛋的比例更低(或者根本没有鸡蛋)。它的搅拌速度要慢得多,吸收的空气更少,让gelato比冰淇淋能浓稠。
