Peppermint Ice Cream vs Peppermint Gelato: Why Does It Taste Richer than Ice Cream?
Peppermint is synonymous with Christmas and is the perfect cool mix of sugar and sweetness and the ultimate pairing with a cup of hot chocolate.
You want to savor every bite of your favorite store-bought peppermint ice cream – but there is a better option: your new favorite from the frozen treat aisle.
But, ultimately, which is better, gelato or ice cream?
This frozen dessert has a richer, deeper, and bolder taste profile because of how the sweet treat is lovingly made.
The end result is a smoother finished product with a unique texture that melts into the mouth.
