Ciao ragazzi! Stracciatella, one of the most famous Italian ice cream flavors! But did you know that this flavor actually hasn't been around that long? It originated in 1962 in Bergamo in Northern Italy in a café called 'La Marianna'. It was invented by Enrico Panattoni. When making ice cream, he added melted chocolate at the end. Contact with the cold ice caused the chocolate to solidify, breaking and mixing with the ice cream! So it is super easy to make. I would like to share the recipe for homemade Italian stracciatella ice cream.
Homemade Italian stracciatella ice cream
What does the word stracciatella actually mean? It means “shredded or torn.” This term refers to the delicious way the chocolate is incorporated into the vanilla ice cream. The dark chocolate is finely chopped and mixed into the creamy ice cream, ensuring that each scoop is a perfect balance between the rich, intense flavor of the chocolate and the light sweetness of the vanilla ice cream.
This classic Italian gelato has become popular all over the world. While the traditional version is made with dark chocolate, you can also try variations like milk chocolate or even white chocolate to add a new dimension to these beloved flavors.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you enjoy preparing the dish below. Delicious Happen!
