The Difference Between Ice Cream, Gelato and Sorbet

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between ice cream, gelato and sorbet?  Mme. Miles and I have!  Ice cream is made from cream or milk, like the name suggests!!  Gelato is also made from milk but it doesn't have the same amount of air in it.  Ice cream is whipped more than gelato which makes gelato thicker and have a more intense flavour.  Sorbet is not made from milk but is usually made from pureed fruit and juice and then whipped to make it have a lighter texture.

Personally, I like them all!

Brazza Gelato and Coffee

Hello,

Today I went to Brazza  Coffee and Gelato. They did not have very many flavors. I would give this cafe 4.5 stars out of 6 stars. The flavor I had was:

ACE ( lemon orange carrots) It was ok, not my favourite gelato but it was still good. I rate this ice cream flavor 5 out of 6 stars.

I had a tiny taste of my moms gelato which was:

Soleada (paisson friut papaya guava) This one was mouth watering. I rate it 6 out of 6 it was the best in the world. I wish I got this flavor!

It was a nice cafe but it does not have a large selection of gelato. It was nice but I would not go back there. I have not seen the two flavors my mom and I tried at any other gelato cafes before.

Bye Bye'

The flavour of the week is...COCONUT!!!!!!!! I found this ice cream flavour at Amato Gelato (78 East 1rst Vancouver) and it was delicious (well if you like coconut that is).  The dessert was called Coconut Surprise. It was coconut gelato around mango sorbet and then covered in coconut flakes.

The coconut gelato was sooo smooth and creamy and the mango was delicious as well (coconut was better).  I would recommend this for anyone who wants a little bit of summer in the middle of a rainy November.
