Let’s be honest here, trying to pit Nitrogen Ice Cream vs Gelato is never really going to be a fair fight – they are both delicious, much loved frozen desserts that come in a wide variety of flavors.

But, that said, there are differences in the ingredients they contain, and the way that they are made that leave a tantalizingly different type of taste of your tongue.

What’s so Great About Gelato?

Gelato is an Italian ice cream that is made from cream, milk, and sugar.  Unlike regular ice cream, gelato uses more milk and less cream in its base.  This higher proportion of milk leads to less butterfat in the ice cream, with around only 5-8% butterfat in gelato as opposed to 10 percent or more in regular ice cream.

It’s not just the lower percentage of milk that makes Gelato taste different, it is also the way in which it is made.  By being churned at a far slower rate than regular ice cream it, the mixture incorporates less air, leaving the gelato with a much denser consistency.

The silky, thick texture of gelato means it retains a softer consistency, and the lower percentage of fat means that the ingredients that provide the flavor really get the chance the shine through.

Finally, unlike regular ice cream that tastes best frozen, Gelato is usually served at temperatures between 7 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit, which adds to its super soft, creamy texture and mouthwatering flavor.

And What Makes Nitrogen Ice Cream So Different Then?

Well, in some respects nitrogen ice cream is actually quite similar to Gelato.  Because our ingredients are mixed by hand, they also have a dense, creamy texture, that really allows the flavor to tickle on your taste buds. We add the usual mixture of sugar and milk and stir it all up until the sugar dissolves.  We then throw in some flavor – which can literally be anything from frozen berries to cookie dough, alcohol or even cereal – then add the liquid nitrogen to flash freeze the flavor!

We allow the liquid nitrogen to work its magic for a moment or two, before stirring up the mixture to produce creamy, hand-blended ice cream that is – in our opinion – the most delicious in the world.

Nitrogen Ice Cream vs. Gelato – Who Wins?

We are more than a little bit biased to be fair, but we wholeheartedly believe that Nitrogen Ice Cream is always the best!  Our creamists are on hand to create the smoothest ice cream you have ever tasted, bar none!  Sorry, even the creamiest of Gelato’s will still taste a bit lumpy compared to the silky texture of our frozen desserts.

We flash freeze ice cream using liquid nitrogen at a super chilly -321 degrees, to create delicious ice cream that holds its flavor right through to the very last lick!  What’s more, there is no limit on the flavor combinations you can create.  We can also add alcohol for a strictly adult flavor, or create vegan, non-diary ice cream to suit your specific dietary requirements.
