Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event! This Sunday the #SundaySupper team has organised an Italian Fest!
Being Italian, when the Italian theme was announced, I knew I had to host it. This is the first #SundaySupper event I host and I am really excited, especially since it will be showcasing some amazing Italian food!
I am very excited about today’s recipe as Fiordilatte Gelato is one of the most popular flavours in Italy, so much so that it is often used as a “base” for other flavours. It’s a very simple and creamy vanilla gelato, perfect to eat with your favourite topping. I love it with my Orange Caramel Sauce, while my chocolate lover kids always have it with some of my Home-made Chocolate Syrup. To tell you the truth, it is also delicious on its own thanks to its delicate vanilla flavour. How about you, do you like toppings? And what’s your favourite ice cream flavour?
Fiordilatte Gelato
Fiordilatte Gelato - a very simple and creamy vanilla gelato, perfect to eat with your favourite topping and one of the most popular flavours in Italy.
Ingredients
- Ingedients
- 400 ml – 1 2/3 cups heavy cream
- 500 ml – 2 cups whole milk
- 160 gms – ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Heat the milk and sugar in a pot until the mixture reaches 80°C – 176°F. Chill.
-
-
Churn it in your ice cream maker for 20 to 30 minutes or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
When ready, transfer to a container, cover it and put it in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
-
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture in a container, put some cling wrap on the top (it has to actually be in contact with the ice cream) to seal it completely and then cover it with a lid. This should prevent crystallization.
-
Then put it in the freezer overnight.
-
Serve it plain or with your favourite topping like my home-made chocolate syrup or orange caramel sauce.

One of my favorite memories of Italy is the fabulous gelato! Your fiordilatte looks divine, Manu! Thanks so much for hosting us this week!!! xoxo
I love the little specks of vanilla in your creamy gelato, Manuela! And that orange caramel sauce is superb!
This gelato looks like perfection. Extra caramel sauce for me please!
I do miss Italian gelato! (Nothing we can get in WI compares.) I can’t wait to try making our own. Thanks for hosting this week!
Looks so YUMMY
Oh those lovely vanilla bean specks! Such a great choice for Sunday Supper!
This looks amazing! Such beautiful photos. Thanks for hosting this week!
To me everything about this screams Italian to me. And I absolutely LOVE it!
I think fiordilatte may have been one of the first Italian words I learned (next to ciao) when I lived near Naples for a couple years. It is my kids favorite flavor of gelato. I love this recipe and will definitely try it at home. Thank you! I’m loving your blog Manu. 🙂
Looks amazing! Can’t wait for summer. Thanks for hosting!
I’ve never heard of fiordilatte so thank you for teaching me something new and thank you for hosting this week.
Do you believe I have never made gelato…I must try this. Thanks for hosting!!!!
I’m putting my ice cream maker bowl in the freezer because I’ll be making this. Looks so creamy good.
Your gelato is just perfect and that sauce-yum.
