Puréed fruit or other natural flavors and sugar are mixed with heavy whipping cream and frozen, either in a freezer or an ice cream machine. Ask your server to read the ingredients listed on the container if purchased pre made and available. Remember to keep your flavor choices simple. Gelato may be served with a cookie/biscuit.

Granita is shaved ice with fruit syrup poured over the top, rather like a snow cone. What separates it from the standard snow cone is that the syrups are made fresh. Fruit is puréed and boiled with sugar and sometimes wine or liquor added to flavor the syrup.

Zabaglione is usually free of dairy products. It is made by whipping egg yolks and sugar together while cooking in a double boiler. Sweet Marsala wine and sometimes cookie/biscuit crumbs are added toward the end. Zabaglione is served warm or chilled, by itself or over fresh fruit, and possibly on top of cake.
