Gelato alle mandorle is a traditional gelato flavor made with almonds, while the base typically includes cream, milk, and sugar or honey. This gelato flavor is usually made with roasted almonds as they have a more intense aroma and flavor. The almonds are finely ground and turned into a paste before they are mixed with the creamy base.

The result is creamy ice cream with a dominant almond flavor. It is typically garnished with chopped almonds.
