Stracciatella ( stratʃaˈtɛlla , from Italian stracciare , "to tear") is a type of ice cream that consists primarily of milk ice cream and is sprinkled with fine, irregular pieces of chocolate . It originally comes from Bergamo in Lombardy and is one of the most famous Italian ice cream flavors.

description

When making stracciatella ice cream, melted chocolate is drizzled into plain milk ice cream towards the end of the stirring process. When it comes into contact with the cold ice cream, the chocolate solidifies and is then broken and stirred in with a spatula. Stirring in creates the small pieces of chocolate that give the ice cream its name. Stracciatella ice cream was originally prepared with simple milk ice cream, modern interpretations use vanilla or chocolate ice cream as a base.

origin

In 1961, Enrico Panattoni, owner of the La Marianna restaurant in Bergamo , invented ice cream. According to Panattoni, the idea came to him after he was tired of stirring eggs in broth because customers were increasingly asking about the stracciatella soup known from Rome .
