Gelato can be more than dessert. It can also be part of a refreshing frizzante, which is a sparkling shake. To make a frizzante, you will need a mineral or flavored soda, preferably of the San Pellegrino brand. You will also need a blender or shake maker.
The following recipe is for an Amarena Frizzante:
Ingredients
- 1 scoop black cherry gelato
- 1 cup/can San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water
Optional Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice
- whipped cream
Take a blender or shake maker and add one scoop of black cherry gelato, one cup or can of San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water, and the optional lemon juice. Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds, or until smooth. Pour the beverage into a tall glass and top with whipped cream if desired. Serve with a drinking straw.
The Amarena Frizzante is not too sweet, light on the palate, and very refreshing on a hot summer day.
