In contrast to what you might believe, the word "gelato" is not merely the Italian word for "ice cream." When compared to ice cream, gelato has a reduced fat content because the majority of the custard is created from milk rather than cream. Gelato is churned at a slower rate than ice cream, which means that it does not contain as much air. This results in a frozen delicacy that is extremely flavorful and extremely creamy. You can have it in a cup or a cone, but if you want to do it the Roman way, try putting a scoop on a doughy brioche bread.

The word "dondurma" comes from the Turkish word for "freezing," and you may get this delicious dessert in Azerbaijan, certain regions of Greece, and other regions of the Middle East where the heat is more prevalent than it is not. Although it is sweet and creamy, similar to American ice cream, dondurma has a texture that is more dense and nearly chewy. This is more for the sake of function than it is for flavor, despite the fact that it has a pleasing texture: Adding salep powdered root and mastic thick tree resin makes the ice cream melt a little more slowly, which is crucial in temperatures above 100 degrees.

![Kulfi- India](/fp/static/_m_9c5f1858-a451-4af3-8a7b-d9f5f0931e70.jpeg)
From the Indian subcontinent comes the delicious frozen dairy treat known as kulfi. Sweetened and flavoured milk is slowly heated to thicken and condense to make kulfi. There are several traditional flavors that are commonly used in Indian cuisine, such as cream (malai), rose, mango, saffron (kesar or zafran), and pistachio. Kulfi has a thicker and creamier texture than ordinary ice cream because it is not whipped. Kulfi gets its signature flavor from the caramelization of sugar and browning of milk proteins during the long simmering process. Once poured, it is sealed into molds, which are commonly called kulhars. The liquid is quickly frozen by submerging the molds in an insulated container that is filled with ice and salt. Its flavor can be elevated with garnishes such as ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachios.

Sliceable semifreddo is a type of frozen dessert. You won't need an ice cream maker for this. To put it simply, it's a combination of ice cream and mousse that is whipped into a light cloud and then solidified in a mold. Richness comes from a stirred custard or sweetened cream mixture; sometimes, melted chocolate or puréed fruit or nuts add a burst of flavor to either of these. This is then topped with a sugar and egg white whisked into a meringue, creating a light and airy substance that holds its shape without completely solidifying when frozen.

The irresistible German delicacy known as spaghettieis (or spaghetti ice cream) is shaped like a silly spaghetti plate. The process involves using a modified Spätzle press to extrude thin "noodles" made of vanilla ice cream or gelato. Next, a layer of whipped cream is spread over the ice cream noodles, and then, to make it look like tomato sauce, a big dollop of strawberry sauce is added on top. Lastly, a topping of grated white chocolate, which resembles parmesan cheese, is placed on top. The unusual combination of spaghetti and ice cream creates this delightfully quirky dish.

The name "helado de paila," which means "pan ice cream," is a nod to the centuries-old pailas, which are classic Ecuadorian cooking pans made of copper and bronze. Fruit juice, ice, and occasionally even fruits are the components that go into the preparation of helado de paila. The ingredients are hand-cranked in a huge paella made of copper or bronze set on ice. As it spins, the juice thickens and turns into a sorbet-like dessert. Passion fruit, tamarind, pineapple, blackberry, and mango are just a few of the flavors.

Conchgos, a type of Mexican custard, is changed into ice cream, which is cool and creamy, when the weather is hot. Chongo is a type of cheese that was initially produced by nuns during the colonial era. The process begins with a pot of milk and sugar that is curdled with rennet, which is the enzyme that is required to make cheese. The soft curd is then topped with canela, which is a type of cinnamon that originates from Mexico and is usually regarded as the best cinnamon in the United States.
