Wow, what a treat! Setting the dessert up as a gelato bar creates such a fun and personalized experience. Adding a variety of toppings made the already tasty gelato even better. Whether topped on a cone or a bowl, this dessert spread is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries it!
Makes 12 cones
Preparation Time: 10 minutes to set everything up
Cost: $15
For the gelato:
*Use selection of gelato from the store (we use the Whole Foods brand in Pistachio, Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut and Strawberry)
For the cones:
*Buy your favorite ice cream cones from the store or a boutique ice cream shop (cones or waffle cups)
For the toppings:
*Sprinkles
*Toasted almonds
*Chocolate sauce
*Almond biscotti
*Strawberries/blueberries
For the bar:
*Put gelato selections in metal containers (metal keeps food cold, but any type of bowl will work except glass or plastic).
*Place metal containers in a cooler filled with dry ice.
*Arrange metal gelato containers inside cooler. (DO NOT cover the cooler. Contained dry ice gives off toxic gas).
*Use small ice cream scoop that sits in hot water to scoop.
*Place toppings in separate bowls beside the cooler.
