Stracciatella (ice Cream)
''Stracciatella'' () is a variety of gelato with fine strands of drizzled chocolate stirred through it. It was originally created in Bergamo, northern Italy, at the Ristorante La Marianna in 1961. ''Stracciatella'' was inspired by ''stracciatella'' soup, made from broth into which beaten egg is drizzled, popular around Rome. Description Makers produce the effect by drizzling melted chocolate into plain milk ice cream towards the end of the churning process; the chocolate solidifies immediately after coming in contact with the cold ice cream, and is then broken up and incorporated into the ice cream with a spatula. This process creates the shreds of chocolate that give ''stracciatella'' its name, the word meaning 'little shred' in Italian. While ''stracciatella'' ice cream traditionally involves milk ice cream and milk chocolate, modern variations can also be made with vanilla and dark chocolate.
