Gelato Biscotto

Gelato biscotto is a delicious and simple dessert that combines the freshness of ice cream with the crunchiness of cookies. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients

• 500 ml of ice cream in your preferred flavor (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc.)
• 12 large flat cookies (such as Digestive or butter cookies)
• Melted chocolate, chopped hazelnuts, or chocolate shavings for decoration (optional)

Preparation

1. Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to work with next.
2. Take a cookie and spread a generous layer of ice cream on it, then cover with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich. Repeat the process with the other cookies.
3. If desired, you can now roll the edges of the gelato biscotto in melted chocolate, chopped hazelnuts, or chocolate shavings to decorate and add texture.
4. Place the gelato biscuits on a tray and freeze them for at least 1-2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm again.
5. Serve them directly from the freezer to enjoy them at their optimal consistency.

Trivia

Gelato biscotto is a beloved form of street food in Italy, especially during the summer. Ice cream carts often offer them with a generous sprinkling of hazelnut granules or other dried fruit. In addition, it is a practical and fun way to serve ice cream if you have guests, since everyone can take their own biscuit and enjoy it without the need for plates or spoons.

Remember that you can always customize your gelato biscotto with various ice cream flavors and cookies, as well as with different additions for the topping. Have fun and enjoy!
