What is a Stracciatella Ice Cream Dish?
The stracciatella ice cream dish originates from Italy and is known for its smooth, creamy texture and fine chocolate shavings. Unlike chocolate chip ice cream, stracciatella uses melted chocolate that hardens into crispy flakes when mixed into the cold ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 500ml heavy cream
- 250ml whole milk
