Florentine gelato

We ate so much gelato in Italy! Italians love their Gelato and there are Gelato Universities everywhere. Their Gelato shops are like Starbucks in America, there’s one on every corner. On the Tuscan Cooking Class Tour, we were taught to make 2 desserts included in the 4 Course Feast. This is a great base recipe that can easily be jazzed up with any favorite flavor or toppings. Try it Affogato Style, topped with a shot of espresso, oh yeah!

Try this twist for a truly creamy and delicious gelato.
