Yeah I think that really has to do with the machines and the amount of air they incorporate, and also the temperatures the machines freeze it at. I think I remember seeing something about commercial ice cream basically being 50% air or something. Gelato has way less, and that's how you get that wonderful texture and richness.The main thing about Gelato is that it doesn't get air fluffed like commercial ice cream does. It's basically concentrated ice cream.
Fuck you guys, you made me put a cherry pie in the oven to have with ice cream in a bit.

Amazon hasn't delivered them yet! Supposedly they use Seneca brand apples for the salads but AFAIK Aldi's don't carry them anymore so I had to order some. Although this dressing is on the sweet side so I'm not sure apples would make it better.Where the apples?
Recently tried to replicate Panera Bread's Fuji Apple Chicken Salad. I can't have Panera's Fuji APple dressing anymore because my inferior DNA sees something in the dressing as Russian invaders and inflicts days of hives on me, so I had to find a different dressing.
So I basically semi-replicated their salad with the following:
- Romaine (shredded) (about 2/3 of the lettuce portion)
- Baby Arugala (about 1/3 portion, it's a little bitter)
- Cherry tomatoes (Sweet, organic, cut in half)
- Pecans, a few whole
- Blue cheese (crumbled some from a fresh wedge but the preshredded stuff is fine if fresh)
- Red onion (about 1 or 2 very thin slices)
- Thin sliced boneless chicken breast, olive oil + salt + pepper and baked at 375 for about 40 mins on a rack, then sliced. Hard to overseason this, go nuts.
- Panera's balsamic vinaigrette which has very few ingredients and no Russians according to my immune system.
Panera Balsamic Vinaigrette
Sweet and robust balsamic vinegar infused with notes of garlic and rosemary.www.paneraathome.com
It's quite sweet (much sweeter than their actual Fuji Apple Dressing) so use sparingly or at least make sure you don't skip on the arugala and blue cheese to balance out the sweetness a bit.
This is easily the best salad I've had at home,.
This can give you a start:Any recommendations? I have weird allergies so the vast majority of premade dressings I can't eat anymore since 2 years ago or so. My next adventure will be making my own, it seems pretty simple tbh.
There's always room for cottage cheese....No cottage cheese in any of these salads?
