Helado (Ice Cream)

"Helado is a creamy, indulgent dessert that rivals any gelato. Known for its rich texture and intense flavours, this ice cream is made with fresh milk, cream, sugar, and natural flavourings. Popular varieties include dulce de leche, chocolate, and fruit-based options like mango or passionfruit. Creating Helado takes approximately 45 minutes of preparation and churning, followed by a few hours of freezing. The secret lies in its slow-churning process, which minimizes air, resulting in a dense, velvety texture.

To achieve the perfect Helado, ensure your ingredients are fresh and well-balanced. For example, when making dulce de leche flavor, incorporate a generous swirl of caramelized milk for a signature Argentinian touch. If opting for fruit flavours, use ripe, pureed fruit for the best taste and texture. After churning, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze until firm.

Serve Helado in a chilled bowl or cone, garnished with fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate shavings. For an authentic Argentinian experience, pair it with a cup of strong coffee or enjoy it as a refreshing dessert on a warm day. Special tip: If you’re making multiple flavours, layer them in a single container for a beautiful presentation and a delightful mix of tastes.

This versatile dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether as a light ending to a meal or a treat to savour on its own. With its creamy richness and vibrant flavours, Argentinian Helado is sure to become a favourite in your dessert repertoire."
