Dear Gelato Enthusiasts, This week, I’m delighted to share the delights of making Traditional Strawberry Gelato with White Chocolate at home. While some gelato recipes use cornstarch for simplicity, this recipe opts for Italian meringue, which, despite requiring more effort, significantly enhances the gelato's airy texture and overall quality. This gelato combines the fresh, juicy sweetness of strawberries with the rich, creamy indulgence of white chocolate, offering a perfect balance of flavors. Why You'll Love This Recipe:
