Notes
You can use ice cream for this dessert, but I prefer gelato. It typically has less sugar and a richer, creamier taste. For me, the difference is clear during a taste test: when I eat gelato, I don’t crave more the way I often do with ice cream, and I don’t feel as thirsty afterward, which is a sign to me that ice cream contains too much sugar.
I recommend what I use and love. I earn a commission if you use some of these links (at no extra cost to you).
