Gelato, the frozen Italian dessert staple, is gaining Kenyan fans and is now the most popular sweet treat on Instagram. Don't confuse it with ice cream though. Gelato has a lower fat content than ice cream. Rather than cream, most gelato is made with whole milk. What gelato loses in the fat content race, it makes up for in sugar - there's usually more sugar in Italian gelato than in regular ice cream. Gelato is much more dense and flavorful than factory-made ice cream, since there's less air churned into the mixture.
