Weirdest Flavoured Ice Cream Discussed by Carpigiani UK

Did you know that Ice Cream generates over £1bn for the UK Economy? We all love an ice cream, whether it’s in the summer or winter and believe us the ice cream market really is booming. There has been a revolution in the ice cream world in the last few years and cafes, ice cream parlours and eateries are all coming up with some really wild and different flavoured ice cream to make your taste buds tingle. We have put together some of the Weirdest Ice Cream Flavours for you from across the world, from sweet, savoury, spicy to salty and believe us some you really would never have thought of. Take a look and see if you fancy trying any of them……

Coconut-Curry Ice Cream

This coconut-curry ice cream really is really different with its sweet coconut flavour and its spicy zing from the curry spices, along with the roasted cashews giving it a hint of saltiness. You will love it if you like a something different to the normal vanilla or flavoured ice creams.

Spaghetti and Cheese Flavoured Ice Cream

Cold spaghetti just doesn’t have the same appeal as cold pizza, not that either should ever be present in your ice cream. Well, this cheese-flavoured ice cream with noodle bits comes from a shop in Venezuela that sells more than 900 flavours. This is one that wouldn’t be my first choice but hey you never know, Spaghetti and Cheese ice cream could become my favourite.

Gelato Makers

Commercial Gelato Makers

Read on to find out everything you need to know about Gelato Makers and why they will help your business increase its profits.

What is Gelato?

Gelato is a form of ice cream and is basically the Italian equivalent to what we refer to as ice cream in the UK. It does have its differences from ice cream and you can definitely taste the difference. It is sometimes referred to as Artisan Gelato and the definition of Artisan is “a worker in a skilled trade, one that makes things by hand”. Today’s machines may help us in the making of Gelato, however, the philosophy remains. Gelato is healthier and lower in fat than ice cream and is made in small batches using fresh, natural ingredients.

What is the difference between Ice Cream and Gelato?

Gelato is still a frozen dessert but it is much more dense and intense compared to ice cream. The process to make Gelato starts with a similar custard base to ice cream. It has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs, sometimes no eggs at all to form the ingredients and it is churned at a much slower rate. The slowing churning rate results in less air being incorporated into the mixture which gives it a much denser and fuller flavour compared to ice cream. It is served at a slightly warmer temperature to ice cream which means its texture stays smoother and creamier. Gelato has a lower percentage of fat incorporated into its mixture which results in the main ingredients flavour really standing out and zinging your taste buds.

Its really difficult for people to say which one is their favourite, ice cream or gelato as their tastes and textures are quite different and it largely depends on the mood you are in as to which one you would choose. Gelato is often preferred in the industry if you want to serve it as delicious and flavoursome desserts for your customers as well as serving it in a cone or as part of a sundae. Choosing a commercial Gelato Maker makes your business more versatile and enables you to offer more delicious ice cream options to your customers.

What are Gelato Makers?

A Gelato Maker is a machine that enables you to make batches of delicious and flavoursome gelato quickly using the correct proportion of ingredients and the right churning speed which makes it a different texture and taste to ice cream. If you are looking at expanding your dessert menu or offering ice cream cones to your customers then a good Gelato maker will help you with this and take you on the journey to see your profits grow.
