I’ve spent my life searching the best ice creams out there and, for me, nothing tops a real Italian gelato. The problem is it’s hard to find a real, authentic Italian gelato here in the United States. It usually ends up being standard ice cream trying to be passed off as gelato. This leaves me with two options: Fly to Italy to get the real stuff, or make it myself.

#SpoonTip: Don’t have an ice cream maker? Add a shot or two of limoncello and make this into a no-churn gelato recipe
Remove from the ice cream maker and either store in the freezer in an airtight container or serve immediately.
