Description and origin
Stracciatella gelato is somewhat analogous to American chocolate chip ice cream, but the chocolate in stracciatella should turn to be thicker and more evenly to produce a smooth, crisp texture.
The effect is generated by a liquid chocolate drizzle into a regular milk ice cream towards the end of the stirring process; brown frozen immediately in contact with cold ice cream, and then broken down and put into ice cream with a spatula. This process creates a chocolate rip that gives the stracciatella its name. While traditionally flavored with milk and milk chocolate ice cream, modern variations can also be made with vanilla and dark chocolate.
This taste was created in 1962 by Enrico Panattoni, owner of La Marianna , gelateria in Bergamo in northern Italy. According Panattoni, the idea came to him after he got tired of stirring eggs into broth to satisfy customers from his restaurant who kept asking for stracciatella soup.
