🍦 What's the Difference? Ice Cream vs Gelato vs Helado

🧡🍦Ice cream, gelato, helado. Are they different?

🍦 Gelato is typically made with whole milk and eggs and not whipped with air so it’s quite dense.
⠀
🍦 Ice cream is made with whipped cream so it’s fluffy.

🍦 Helado, which means ice cream in Spanish, is extra special in Argentina and falls somewhere between Italian gelato and American ice cream.
⠀
Helado is made with eggs (instead of cream) but it's whipped, yielding a nice density like gelato's but doesn’t drip down like ice cream.
⠀

Some Argentinean helado flavors are specifically from El Calafate, Argentina's southern Patagonian ice field. The Calafate flavor is made from "Calafate" berry and it is lightly sweet, fruity and refreshing!
⠀
When in Argentina or other Spanish speaking countries, try a flavor or two before getting your own scoop.
