Gelato cioccolato

(Gelato al cioccolato)

Cioccolato is a variety of Italian gelato that is prepared with chocolate and cocoa powder as the key ingredients alongside cream, sugar, and milk. The final product, if made properly and churned at low speed, should have a dense and velvety texture, and a rich, dark brown color.


Not much is known about the origins of chocolate gelato, although it is a fact that the first frozen chocolate recipe had been published in Naples in 1692, in a book called The Modern Steward.
