Question: what is the difference between gelato ice cream and sorbet?
Answer: The main difference is in the ingredients used. Sorbet is basically water + sugar + fruit, while ice cream and gelato is milk/cream + sugar + fruit. So the last two are more 'creamy', while sorbet is more 'icy'. ... More sugar in gelato, more butterfat (the percentage of fat in the milk/cream) in ice cream.
