Description:
A dense, decadent treat that has less fat than ice cream? It sounds almost too good to be true.
But thank heavens, it's not. At Gelato Classico in Corona Del Mar, flavors are rich and vibrant. The difference between gelato and ice cream is that gelato is made with milk, ice cream is made with cream. Ice cream also has air added into it to achieve it's consistency, while gelato has no air added at all, making it more dense.
Here, one of the flavors to try is Coppa Mista, a blend of vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut and pistachio. Each flavor is impressive enough to stand alone, but when layered together, the final product has amazing depth. Also worth trying are a sinful burgundy cherry that made us feel regal when eating it, and the raspberry sorbetto, almost as romantic as the Italian language itself.
