Ice cream and gelato are two frozen desserts, and whereby some gelato can look so similar with ice cream sometimes. Many even actually thought these two entities are the same, but they have quite some differences. The major difference between them is their texture. Gelato seems softer than ice cream, and it also melts faster than most ice cream. Another difference between these desserts is the way in which they have been served, Ice cream is usually served in its frozen state, while gelato is most time kept in warmer temperature when served.

Gelato is prepared from whole milk to cream, and it contains about 5-7% of fats, while ice cream contains above 10% of fats. The way they have been stored during preparation is also different; gelato is not churned as fast as ice cream. That is the reason why it even has a denser nature with about 25% air content, while ice-cream has about 50% air content.
